• Cardiorenal interaction and refractory congestion
• Technology applied to heart failure: monitoring and treatment devices
• Right-sided heart failure: pulmonary hypertension and treatment of tricuspid regurgitation
• Cardiomyopathies
• Heart transplantation: cardiac prehabilitation, primary graft dysfunction, long-term complications

The lines of research of the Heart Failure Unit of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona are as follows:

• Physiopathological mechanisms of dilated myocardiopathy
• Pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease: pathophysiology and treatment.
• Vascular disease of the patient in the heart transplant.
