Cardiovascular Biology

Dr. Kotlikoff

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States and many other developed countries.  Researchers at Cornell seek to understand the underlying causes of various forms of cardiac and vascular disease such as heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension and pre-eclampsia.  A variety of methods and approaches are employed, including: molecular profiling, electrophysiology, ultrasonography, telemetry, advanced imaging and regenerative medicine.
