Dr. Hoch's research focuses on the biological mechanisms of fatigue in adults with heart failure, particularly examining serum osmolality, inflammation, and cellular bioenergetics. Her work aims to improve clinical outcomes through better understanding of fatigue's physiological underpinnings and its impact on self-care abilities.
Publication Trends: Recent articles analyze fatigue through biochemical (inflammatory markers, platelet energy metabolism), physiological (serum osmolality), and clinical lenses. Collaborations span cardiology, neurology, and bioenergetics domains.
