Development of a laboratory of excellence in the cardiovascular field

Located in the Italian city of Latina, near Rome, the LABoEx certainly represents a one-of-its kind concentrate of know-how and advanced research in the field of Cardiovascular disease. Conceived during a meeting between cardiologists and bioengineers, LAboEx was created in reply to the shared needs for an in-depth understanding of the many variables and parameters of the cardiovascular system and of their interaction with mechanical assist devices (such as the oxygenator, the intra-aortic balloon pump, centrifugal pump, the ventricular assist device, the ventilatory assistance etc).
