1. To investigate mechanisms of LV (left ventricular) diastolic dysfunction.
2. To develop better diagnostic methods to differentiate between viable and necrotic myocardium in acute coronary occlusion.
3. To investigate mechanisms of LV dyssynchrony and develop better methods for selecting patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
4. To investigate LV mechanical-electrical interactions and their impact on risk for ventricular arrhythmias.
