Dr. Tadeusz Malinski research is focused on discovery of the regulatory role of nitric oxide in the beating heart and the mechanism of dysfunction of nitric oxide synthase are historical contributions to world science. The dysfunction of nitric oxide synthase is a common denominator of several diseases of modern civilization heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, aging, obesity, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease and stroke. He developed new systems for early diagnosis of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, a new system of heart preservation for transplantation, and biological modifications of prosthetic systems including an artificial heart.
