Vítor Hugo Pereira (VHP) is a researcher at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute and at the Clinical Academic Center, where he is interested to dissect the mechanisms of autonomic control at central and peripheral levels using electrophysiological and imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance. His team showed that the central autonomic nervous system dynamics are altered in patients with a previous episode of Takotsubo Syndrome. VHP is also an Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine, University of Minho. He is the coordinator of the Clinical Skills Laboratory and is involved in the organization of several simulation activities and in the management of the Standardized Patients program. Lately he led the implementation of bedside ultrasound in the undergraduate curriculum. In addition to his educational and research activities VHP is an Assistant Cardiologist at the Hospital of Braga. He is specialized in cardiovascular imaging namely echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. He is the CEO of AI4MedImaging.

Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) refers to the use of ultrasound imaging to evaluate cardiac structure and function at the bedside by a treating physician. In recent years, FoCUS has become an indispensable first-line diagnostic tool, complementing…
The exclusion of females from research studies was a critical issue that harmed their health and the advance of science and medicine. In order to correct this situation, funding agencies started requesting the inclusion of women…
In our Digital Era, it is crucial the establishment of innovative strategies that work to bolster health promotion, studies and/or programs designed to reduce the loss of independence in the older years, and the full utilization of already existing data…
