Our research is focused on cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and various syncope mechanisms, including reflex syncope and autonomic failure. Two major forms of orthostatic intolerance: orthostatic hypotension and POTS, a source of frustration for doctors and their patients, are also in the centre of our scientific interest. Finally, we explore how cardiovascular and autonomic systems interact on cellular, organ and organism levels.
