Author Information
Ramon Brugada is a prominent figure in the field of cardiology, with a particular focus on cardiovascular genetics. He is affiliated with several prestigious institutions in Girona, Spain, including the Cardiology Service at Hospital Josep Trueta and the Cardiovascular Genetics Center at the Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Girona-IDIBGI. Additionally, he is associated with the Medical Science Department at the School of Medicine, University of Girona. His work is pivotal in advancing our understanding of inherited arrhythmogenic diseases and genetic cardiomyopathies.Research Contributions
Ramon Brugada has made significant contributions to the field of cardiovascular genetics, particularly in understanding complex syndromes such as Brugada syndrome, inherited arrhythmogenic disorders, and genetic cardiomyopathies. His research encompasses genome-wide association studies that have identified new risk loci for Brugada syndrome, shedding light on sodium channel regulation mechanisms in disease susceptibility. His work also explores the clinical genetics of arrhythmogenic diseases in pediatric populations and the interplay between genetic variants and cardiac conditions, such as the overlap between BAG3 cardiomyopathy and myocarditis. Moreover, his investigations into the genetic underpinnings of ventricular septum thickening and the role of missense variants in arrhythmogenic syndromes further highlight his comprehensive approach to cardiac genetics.Aliases
Ramon Brugada is known by several aliases, including R Brugada, R. Brugada, and Ramón Brugada. These variations are commonly used in academic and research publications.Publication and Citation Metrics
