Currently active lines of resarch are: - Clinical evaluation of percutaneous treatment modalities for structural heart diseases, and prognostic stratification of patients who are candidate for or who are undergoing structural heart interventions (TAVI; MitraClip; …); - Study of ischemia-reperfusion injury during acute myocardial infarction with identification of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and with the development and the testing of ...

Cardio-vascular diseases Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Responsible

In the UZ Brussel the 4 departments of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, the Heart Rhythm Management Center and Vascular Surgery, decided to cluster their efforts into the cluster CHVZ in 2009. The objectives were to optimalize the clinical care of patients with cardio-vascular diseases. The research group "Centrum Hart-en Vaatziekten" - CHVZ - was created in 2010 with the objective to centralize the research in 2 main research topics and to ...

Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology KU Leuven

The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...

Cardiovascular Sciences, Kulak Kortrijk Campus KU Leuven

Responsible

Research in the Laboratory for Thrombosis Research (Karen Vanhoorelbeke, Simon De Meyer, Hans Deckmyn) at the Kulak campus of KU Leuven focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which the hemostatic proteins von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its cleaving enzyme ADAMTS13 contribute to health and disease. We perform fundamental research to understand the role of VWF and ADAMTS13 in hemostasis, bleeding, thrombosis and (thrombo)inflammatory ...

Cardiovascular Research and Engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The recording of the electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the cornerstone for the clinical diagnosis of each cardiac disease. The ECG records the electrical activity of the heart on the body surface and produces images that are characteristic of both normal and abnormal conditions. Unfortunately, the conventional ECG records that electrical activity in a limited number of sites on the torso and falls thus short in providing the cardiologist with ...
