A research project funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute to study exercise intolerance in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using cardiovascular MRI, aiming to improve clinical outcomes.
Description
This K23 project aims to develop an independent clinical/translational researcher skilled in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify factors reducing peak oxygen consumption (VO2) in patients with heart failure, focusing on those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). The research involves assessing heart function during exercise to understand exercise intolerance and improve outcomes.
