AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to be a lab that values tradition and keeps taking on challenges.
Cardiovascular Medicine is a lab of the Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, providing clinical care built on three pillars, heart failure, arrhythmia, and coronary artery and structural heart disease, while also conducting research.
It values advancing clinical research and basic research as the two wheels of a cart, and Prof. Ishizu personally has conducted clinical research using echocardiography and animal experiments.
It is introduced that the young graduate students of Cardiovascular Medicine have a track record of publishing papers while interacting with other labs in the university.
As an open lab, it accepts young physicians from across the country.
