Research Focus
Dr. Reza Avazmohammadi's lab focuses on understanding heart function, especially how the heart's ventricles relax and adapt under different conditions. They explore the mechanics behind heart diseases like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension by using advanced imaging and deep learning techniques. The goal is to identify ways to treat these conditions more effectively by examining both passive and active changes in heart tissue.
