Prof. Arnon Blum has dedicated his research to understanding the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease and to seeking interventions that can slow and even reverse this deadly disease. Prof. Blum focuses on honing predictive diagnostic techniques, preventive measures, and novel treatments designed to regenerate cardiovascular tissue. Over the past 10 years, Prof. Blum and his researchers have developed advanced techniques for accurately predicting a patient’s potential for serious cardiovascular events such as cardiac arrest and vein blockage. Using non-invasive ultrasound imaging, Blum and his team measure endothelial function, estimate cardiovascular risk and define goals of treatment. Prof. Blum’s method is based on a series of intensive vascular studies at the molecular and cellular level coupled with new methods of blood vessel ultrasound imaging.
