Others / Comments Laboratory Introduction：A progressive chain of pathophysiological events links cardiovascular risk factors to clinical manifestations of disease and life-threatening cardiovascular events. This chain--the cardiovascular continuum--underlies cardiovascular disease and holds the key to its prevention and treatment. Pre-emptive medicine is a novel medical concept that aims to precisely assess tailored cardiovascular risk and disease management in individual patients. Recent advances in genomic analysis, information technology, and artificial intelligence should make this medical concept feasible. The research policy of our department is to conduct translational research, ranging from basic science to clinical research with high originality to deliver precision or preemptive medicine.

Others / Comments Despite recent advances in medical treatments, the cardiovascular diseases remain the number killer of human being. In view of aging society, there is an urgent need to overcome refractory cardiovascular diseases. Our department focuses on exploring the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) using physiological, pharmacological, genetical and molecular biological approach. Novel findings on pathological mechanisms would lead us to develop novel therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases. In addition, in order to establish evidence for cardiovascular disease, we conducted several clinical research regarding national database.
