Dr. Simon is a highly experienced cardiologist with a specialization in pulmonary hypertension, advanced heart failure, and heart transplantation. He has a keen interest in developing new therapies for pulmonary hypertension and exploring the intricacies of right-sided heart failure in pulmonary hypertension (PH). This condition is often associated with poor outcomes and is known to occur in another type of heart failure called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction or HFpEF. While the heart functions normally in HFpEF, the stiffening of the heart and blood vessels causes difficulty in breathing. Dr. Simon's background in bioengineering and heart biomechanics has enabled him to design and direct several clinical trials of new medications and devices for pulmonary hypertension and heart failure.
