PIEPOLI MASSIMO

Massimo Piepoli has worked as a resident in cardiology at the Department of Internal Medicine of the University of Pavia, and subsequently at the University of Oxford (UK) and the Imperial College London (UK) studying the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension, dilated heart disease in decompensation, and the neuroendocrine control of the cardiovascular system in collaboration with international research groups (Milan, Berlin, Wrockaw, Athens).
Since 2000 he has held research coordination roles within national international leading working groups and more recently collaborating in the drafting of guidelines in various cardiovascular areas. In 2014 he led the VI Joint Task Force which drafted the European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Prevention.

Piepoli's research examines the pathophysiology of heart failure and the role of neuro-hormonal imbalance in the evolution of heart failure, as well as the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, innovation in diagnostics and therapy. His research results (Scopus 2023: H index 111)

His current clinical interest covers the spectrum of medical management of cardiovascular diseases, with particular attention to heart failure, and his research interests are mainly focused on biomarkers, etiology and phenotypes of cardiomyopathies, cardio-respiratory interactions, neuroendocrine control of the cardiovascular system, pathophysiology and clinical aspects of heart failure, including diagnostic, therapeutic and general management problems. In addition, she leads projects on the control of risk factors, the promotion of healthy vine styles and the prevention of heart failure, applications of cardiopulmonary tests to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
