Understanding the Translational Value of PV Loops from Mouse to Man

In this exclusive webinar sponsored by Millar Dr. Navin Kapur, Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of the Interventional Cardiology Center at Tufts Medical Center, discusses how PV loop data can translate over from mouse to man and provide a confident approach to evaluating drug studies, device validation and treatments outcomes. Hemodynamics and measurements of cardiac function from the research bench-top are presented along with findings from the clinical research settings. Furthermore, Dr. Kapur provides perspective on how PV Loops can be used as a tool for the interventional cardiologist and during the evaluation of advanced heart failure.

Dr. Navin Kapur's research interests include the molecular basis of cardiac fibrosis, transforming growth factor-beta signaling in cardiac fibroblasts, and novel imaging modalities of myocardial perfusion.
