Mihai V. Podgoreanu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke University. His research primarily focuses on systems biology approaches to model perioperative cardiovascular injury adaptation. He investigates the mechanisms of perioperative myocardial injury using functional genomics, along with the metabolic consequences of ischemia-reperfusion injury. His work includes developing animal models for studying these injuries and conducting genetic association studies in perioperative medicine. Dr. Podgoreanu also explores clinico-genomic risk prediction models to assess long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes following cardiac surgery. In clinical settings, he employs intraoperative quantification of tissue perfusion using contrast echocardiography and myocardial tissue deformation indices to characterize perioperative ventricular dysfunction. His extensive research and clinical work contribute significantly to the understanding of cardiovascular complications in surgical patients.
