Cardiac pathology is the study of diseases and disorders that affect the heart. This research area focuses on understanding the causes, mechanisms, and manifestations of various heart conditions, including congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathies. Researchers in this field investigate the molecular, cellular, and physiological changes that occur in the heart during disease progression, as well as explore potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes for patients with heart conditions. By studying cardiac pathology, researchers aim to deepen our understanding of heart diseases and develop more effective treatments to prevent and manage them.
