PhD study programme: Physiology, Pathological Physiology, Medical Chemistry and Biochemistry
Specialization: Physiology
Form of the study: PhD full-time study
Workplace: Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University
Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Michal Pásek, PhD
Consultant: Assoc. Prof. Markéta Bébarová, MD, PhD
Annotation:
The heart failure is characterized by an insufficient cardiac output, that is not able to fulfil metabolic demands of tissues, despite filling of the ventricles is sufficient. For effective and targeted treatment of the heart failure in clinical practice, it is essential to understand the underlying changes of cellular and subcellular processes in cardiomyocytes. The goal of this study will be to mathematically formulate changes in membrane transport processes and excitation-contraction coupling in failing cardiomyocytes (based on available experimental data) and, using quantitative simulations on the mathematical model, to explain consequences of these changes for cellular electromechanical activity.
