Expertise de recherche

Je m’intéresse à la recherche clinique sur les interactions cardio-rénales. Mes projets portent sur l’intégration des technologies de monitoring et de remplacement rénal dans les soins offerts aux patients présentant des maladies cardiaques et rénales aigues ou chroniques. Mes intérêts principaux sont les suivants :

  • Gestion précise de la balance liquidienne – détection de la congestion
  • Optimisation de la perfusion tissulaire
  • Prévention des événements cardiovasculaires chez les patients insuffisants rénaux
  • Optimisation des décisions cliniques chez les patients insuffisants cardiaques
  • Prévention de l’insuffisance rénale aigue après une chirurgie cardiaque

Prix et distinctions

  • KRESCENT New Investigator award 2021
