My research has been focusing on myocardial injury and dysfunction as a consequence of acute illness, as sepsis or shock. As an anaesthesiologist involved in the care of high-risk surgical patients, I want to help understanding how, in response to the stress imposed by surgery, organ injury and dysfunction contribute to the patient’s trajectory and prognosis. The ultimate goal is to identify modifiable mechanisms and interventions that help preventing perioperative complications and improve outcomes.
