Information
Department of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology |
The origin of the department dates back to 1990, in relationship with the transformation of the Department of Artificial and Support Circulation of the former Institute of Experimental Surgery SAS to the Institute for Heart Research SAS. Scientific orientation of the Department is characterized as basic medical research focused on the selected topics of theoretical and experimental cardiology. Being a part of the institute that has been approved as an external institution for the university education of the 3rd level, the department is involved in PhD. training program in the scientific subject 4.2.10 – Animal physiology.
