Physiological Underpinnings of Myocardial Ischemia

Joining us today to discuss the physiological underpinnings of myocardial ischemia is Rob S. MacLeod, Ph.D., co-founder and associate director of Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute. Dr. MacLeod uses both experimental investigation and clinical approaches to improve management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as to explore the mechanisms and indicators of acute myocardial ischemia. Tune in to learn more about the physiological underpinnings of myocardial ischemia.

Specific topics discussed:
• What is the clinical motivation for this relatively basic-science research?
• Summarize the methods you use and what makes them unique?
• What are the most meaningful discoveries of your group that have contradicted the prevailing understanding of ischemia?
• What are your goals for the future?
