Academic Research Grant Training Fellowship

Mikhail Dzeshka is assistant lecturer of the 1st Department of Internal Diseases at Grodno State Medical University, Grodno, Belarus. His field of interest is cardiology, including arrhythmias, heart failure and arterial hypertension. He earned his PhD in 2012.

Dzeschka's research will focus on evaluation of possible associations between levels of circulating microparticles, diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction as well as assessment of predictive value of studied parameters for occurrence of a combined endpoint of heart failure related hospital admissions and all-cause death.
