Goals

Study of the electrophysiological properties that affect the processes involved in the initiation, perpetuation and cessation of cardiac arrhythmias.
Study of the role of calcium homeostasis in arrhythmogenesis and the effects of drugs acting on intracellular calcium dynamics.
Analysis of arrhythmogenic electrophysiological changes induced by ventricular mechanical stretch.
Analysis of the protective electrophysiological effects of physical exercise in relation to the induction, maintenance and cessation of cardiac arrhythmias.
Protective mechanisms against myocardial damage due to ischemia-reperfusion and against the proarrhythmogenic effects of post-infarction remodelling.
