Autorinformation
Dr. Anna R. Hemnes received her undergraduate degree from Columbia University in 1995 and her M.D. from Johns Hopkins in 1999. She completed her Internal Medicine residency and fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins as well. She received advanced training in pulmonary vascular disease at Vanderbilt and has incorporated this interest into her research focus: physiology of pulmonary vascular disease. Her laboratory investigates how the right ventricle hypertrophies and fails in the load stress of pulmonary hypertension and the influence of gender on this phenotype. She is also interested in the non-invasive diagnosis and evaluation of pulmonary vascular disease ranging from pulmonary embolism to pulmonary arterial and venous hypertension.
