Eva Nylander

Eva Nylander's research deals with the adaptation of cardiac function, normally as a consequence of athletic training, and in disease states as valvular or heart muscle diseases. In several studies, the heart function is studied not only at rest but also during exercise, which may provoke subtle abnormalities that are not apparent at rest.

Research areas:

• Normal heart function and its adaptation to endurance training
• Development of methods for right ventricular volumes and function determined by ultrasound or magnetic resonance
• Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Early detection and longitudinal follow-up
• Heart function in severe heart failure and evaluation of treatment with mechanical circulatory assist devices
• Heart valve disease and effects of valve surgery on ventricular function
