Abstract:

Despite decades of research works and expanded fields for heart failure research, the burden of heart failure has increased worldwide. As a key to unveil the heart failure mystery, I put the spotlight on the forgotten side of heart failure: the sex differences and right heart remodeling in heart failure. My presentation will cover the approach for assessing the female specific phenotypes and sex differences in the therapeutic effects for heart failure. Furthermore, talking about the trend in Columbia university, I focus on the right heart dysfunction contributing to heart failure, independent of lung or left heart remodeling. From the viewpoint of forgotten no more, I discuss how to connect the research questions from the bed side and the bench side.
