Research Concepts and Opportunities for Early-Career Investigators in Cardiac Surgery
Ann Thorac Surg. 2023 Dec 2:S0003-4975(23)01230-4. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.10.033. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBasic, translational or clinic, research is a key component of cardiac surgery. Understanding basic cellular and molecular mechanisms is key to improve patient outcomes and cardiac surgery procedures must be compared with non-surgical alternatives. However, there is limited guidance for early-career investigators interested in cardiac surgery research. This opinion piece aims at providing basic guidance and principles based on the authors experience.PMID:38048972 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.10.033 (So...
