Scientific Focus
Research Interests
My research group focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular emergencies including acute myocardial infarction, acute cornary syndrome and congestive heart failure. We have evaluated a number of novel cardiac markers and point-of-care testing in clinical practice. Current projects also include the diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis.
