Cardiovascular Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A cardiovascular medicine lab that studies diseases of the heart and blood vessels through both basic and clinical research.
AboutAbout the lab
New value in cardiovascular care, from Kyoto.
Cardiovascular medicine deals with diseases such as angina, myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease, heart failure, atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and arrhythmias.
In its research, the lab draws on basic and clinical approaches in balance, aiming to create new value from Kyoto for the world.
In basic research, the lab uses new methods that apply molecular biology, physiology, and genetics to answer questions that arise in clinical practice. In clinical research, it carries out large-scale multicenter trials in cooperation with many affiliated hospitals.
The lab also welcomes early-career researchers and people from other fields.
Key terms
- Heart failure
- A condition in which the pumping function of the heart weakens and it can no longer send out enough blood for the body's needs
- Translational research
- Research that connects the findings of basic research to new diagnoses and treatments
- iPS cells
- Stem cells made from the body's own cells that can become many different types of cells

ResearchResearch themes
The lab's work ranges from how the heart and blood vessels function, to uncovering how diseases develop, to developing prevention and diagnostic methods, to translational research aimed at developing treatments. The department has 11 research groups.
*Illustrative imageMolecular Cardiology
The lab analyzes the molecular mechanisms of disease and aims to turn the findings of this basic research into innovative diagnostic methods and treatments.
*Illustrative imageiPS Cells and Regenerative Medicine
The lab studies heart diseases using iPS cells, and conducts research to make regenerative medicine usable in clinical practice.
*Illustrative imageTranslational Research in Cardiovascular Medicine
In the field of cardiovascular disease, the lab aims to create innovative new tests and treatments that contribute to human health.
*Illustrative imageElectrophysiology of Arrhythmias and Disease-Specific iPS Cells
The lab aims to clarify how arrhythmias occur, focusing in particular on the role of genes, through clinical research (disease conditions and genetic analysis) and basic research (iPS cells and small animal models).
