Within cardiology, the main clinical research areas are research in clinical electrophysiology and interventional cardiology.
The research group in clinical electrophysiology focuses on diagnosis and management of cardiac electrophysiological disorders such as atrial fibrillation, cardiac implantable devices, management of medical device problems, remote patient monitoring, computational models and advanced signal processing.
The research group in interventional cardiology participates in numerous international clinical trials coordinated by the Cardiovascular Research Service and manages multiple international interventional cardiology studies.
In the area of cardiac surgery, lines of research include topics such as interprofessionalism and communication, extracorporeal circulation, coronary artery bypass grafts, and surgery on heart valves and thoracic aorta.
Clinical research activities are also carried out in the area of cardiac anesthesia and intensive care.
Cardiovascular medicine and research
Research and innovation are part of the DNA of Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino EOC. Over the years, major investments have supported countless research projects, conducted independently or in collaboration with leading national and international academic centers and teaching hospitals. Today, infrastructure and dedicated staff support research activities that span the full spectrum of clinical and pharmacological cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, to the more recently developed areas of regenerative cardiology.
