Meyer Lab

The Meyer lab is investigating the interaction of heart rate and calcium cycling in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A main goal is the development of chronotherapy to improve symptoms and outcomes in HFpEF. In a bench-to-bedside approach we study disease models, human heart tissue samples and conduct clinical studies.
Current Lab Projects
- Heart rate effects on cardiac hemodynamics and the myocardium
- Novel approaches and pharmacologic targets in HFpEF
- Mechanisms and dosing of chronotherapy
- Biosensor to monitor sarcoplasmic reticulum dependent relaxation
