Research Interests:
Pankaj Garg's research is centered on developing and translating novel imaging techniques in cardiovascular medicine. His primary focus is on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and 4D flow imaging, aiming to improve the non-invasive assessment of hemodynamics in conditions such as heart failure, valvular disease, and pulmonary hypertension. He explores the interface between cardiovascular flow and cardiac remodeling, with a strong interest in applying artificial intelligence to accelerate and enhance image analysis.
Recent Research Trends:
His recent publications highlight a strong trend in developing non-invasive biomarkers using CMR, including models to estimate left ventricular filling pressure, right atrial pressure, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. He is also advancing AI-driven segmentation and quantification tools, validating 4D flow against echocardiography, and investigating sex-specific differences in cardiovascular physiology. His work consistently emphasizes clinical relevance, prognostic value, and improved diagnostic accuracy.
