Heart Failure · Autonomic · Neuroimaging

Kumar lab is interested to examine neural control processes regulating autonomic and cognitive functions. The lab uses various magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy procedures, including structural, functional, metabolic, hemodynamic, and vascular permeability methods. Several patient population, including heart failure and congenital heart disease patients are used to examine such regulatory processes.
