Cardiac dysfunction refers to the impaired or disrupted function of the heart, which can manifest as various conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction. This research area focuses on understanding the underlying causes, mechanisms, and pathways involved in cardiac dysfunction, as well as developing new strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Researchers in this field may investigate factors such as genetics, environmental influences, lifestyle choices, and comorbidities that contribute to the development of cardiac dysfunction. Additionally, they may explore novel therapies, drugs, and medical devices to improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with cardiac dysfunction.
