Vortex Dynamics and Energetics in Left Ventricular Flows
… that we study and understand the complex cardiac energetics and physics of blood flow in both healthy and diseased hearts. Although artificial heart valves, mechanical and biological, have evolved to a level of universal acceptance, they have never reached a level of performance comparable …

Developing methods for measuring mitochondrial redox status and membrane potential in the isolated perfused heart
… have been identified as a key player in cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury serving as both a source and target of damage. The energetic status of mitochondria critically determines the progression of ischaemia-reperfusion injury by dictating the thermodynamic likelihood of reverse …

Imaging biological water permeability barriers using CARS microscopy
… arteries. Previous work by the Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics has suggested that the exclusively apical expression of the channel protein aquaporin 1 (AQP1) may account for the increase in observed permeability of the apical endothelial cell membrane. To test this hypothesis, water-CARS …

Role of PERM1 in the Development of Insulin Resistance and Diabetic Cardiomyopathy During High-Fat Diet Feeding
… muscle-specific regulator of mitochondrial bioenergetics, predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Our group has previously demonstrated that PERM1 is downregulated in both human and mouse failing hearts, and that Perm1-knockout mice exhibit reduced cardiac contractility and …
