Offer

- Screening and longitudinal follow-up of subjects at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) or patients with manifest CVD

- Genetic studies of subjects at risk and patients with CVD

- Phase II–IV pharmacologic studies in cardiovascular medicine

- Research on blood pressure (BP) and hypertension, focused on BP measurement, genetics of hypertension, pharmacology of hypertension, arterial stiffness

- Research on arterial properties with noninvasive methods: arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, intima-media thickness of carotid artery

- Research on biological markers of CVD in collaboration with different labs; e.g., markers of calcification, accelerated atherosclerosis, subclinical myocardial ischemia, nutrition parameters

- Statistical analysis of the data performed primarily by the physicians who do the research; fi nal analysis is consulted with statisticians
