Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Myocyte and Blood pressure. His studies link Surgery with Internal medicine. His Endocrinology research incorporates elements of Receptor, Biophysics and Endoplasmic reticulum.

His Cardiology research focuses on subjects like Physical exercise, which are linked to Circulatory system. The Myocyte study combines topics in areas such as Calcium metabolism, Agonist, Membrane potential, Muscle hypertrophy and Contractility. His Blood pressure research integrates issues from Hemodynamics, Genome-wide association study and Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Resveratrol improves health and survival of mice on a high-calorie diet (3469 citations)
  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2804 citations)
  • Arterial and Cardiac Aging: Major Shareholders in Cardiovascular Disease Enterprises Part I: Aging Arteries: A “Set Up” for Vascular Disease (1591 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Biophysics and Myocyte. His study in Blood pressure, Calcium, Stimulation, Arterial stiffness and Sinoatrial node falls under the purview of Internal medicine. His biological study deals with issues like Ryanodine receptor, which deal with fields such as Phospholamban.

His studies in Cardiology integrate themes in fields like Surgery, Diastole and Heart rate. The concepts of his Biophysics study are interwoven with issues in Anatomy, Intracellular and Ion channel. He frequently studies issues relating to Contractility and Myocyte.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (67.70%)
  • Endocrinology (47.08%)
  • Cardiology (24.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (67.70%)
  • Endocrinology (47.08%)
  • Cardiology (24.12%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Edward G. Lakatta mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Cell biology and Sinoatrial node. Arterial stiffness, Blood pressure, Pulse wave velocity, Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats and Fibrosis are among the areas of Internal medicine where he concentrates his study. His work carried out in the field of Blood pressure brings together such families of science as Disease, Genetic association and Cohort.

His research integrates issues of In vivo and Marinobufagenin in his study of Endocrinology. Edward G. Lakatta has researched Cardiology in several fields, including Ankle and Longitudinal study. His Sinoatrial node research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cardiac pacemaker, Neuroscience and Calcium.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recommendations for Improving and Standardizing Vascular Research on Arterial Stiffness: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association (592 citations)
  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (284 citations)
  • Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function (273 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Edward G. Lakatta mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Blood pressure, Cardiology and Sinoatrial node. His study ties his expertise on Genome-wide association study together with the subject of Internal medicine. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Fibrosis, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and Marinobufagenin.

His Pulse pressure study in the realm of Blood pressure connects with subjects such as Correlation. The various areas that Edward G. Lakatta examines in his Cardiology study include Ambulatory blood pressure, Morning and Hazard ratio. His Sinoatrial node study also includes fields such as

  • Neuroscience which is related to area like Rhythm, Calcium and Disease,
  • Ryanodine receptor that intertwine with fields like Diastolic depolarization and Phosphodiesterase,
  • Coupling, which have a strong connection to Endoplasmic reticulum, Calcium signaling, Cardiac pacemaker, Stimulation and Biophysics,
  • Ion channel which is related to area like Electrophysiology and Infradian rhythm.
