Research

His basic science research has focused on cardiac myocyte signal transduction as it relates to bioenergetics and myocardial preservation during cardiac surgery. Dr. Bolling has made important contributions to the field of opioid pharmacology and the cardiac impact of opioids in simulated animal surgical models. In addition, Dr. Bolling is interested in experimental models of heart disease and heart failure, and in dietary means to modify disease progression and severity.

Biography

Dr. Steven F. Bolling's expertise in mitral valve repair continues to result in a large volume of referrals for mitral valve reconstruction. His innovative approach to mitral valve repair in patients with end-stage left ventricular failure and outstanding ability to repair even the most challenging mitral valve abnormalities have received wide spread international acclaim. He continues to run an NIH-funded basic science laboratory.
