He focuses on advanced heart failure, conducting single and multicenter clinical trials that evaluate new drug therapies for patients with this condition. His research seeks to understand exercise limitations and their impact on this patient population, investigating the basic pathophysiologic consequences of heart failure, particularly its symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue. Dr. Russell has established an invasive cardiopulmonary exercise lab to support his research, which allows for monitoring hemodynamics and gas exchange during exercise. His lab also serves as a core facility for trials that involve exercise endpoint evaluations of new heart failure therapies. His key research interests include Advanced Heart Failure, Exercise Physiology, and Cardiac Transplantation.
