Projects
Assessment and long-term transmural follow-up of individual physical activity measured with heart rate monitors for improved cardiovascular health and fitness. Hasselt University
Machine learning platform for better cardiovascular health assessment and risk stratification KU Leuven
Precise description of cardiovascular health and risk assessment are essential for optimal prevention and treatment strategies, but require a complex integration of many factors. The specific objectives of this project are: (1) Applying machine-learning (ML) algorithms to the available longitudinal, highly standardized, general population data to assess the complexity of clinical and behavioral variables, cardiac imaging sequences and ...
Integrative personalized computer modeling for better cardiovascular health assessment KU Leuven
The cardiovascular (CV) area has tremendous potential for personalized medicine and is currently under fast development. Precise description of CV health and risk assessment are essential for optimal prevention and treatment strategies, but requires complex integration of many factors. Development of computer population-based models will ultimately support precision medicine. Therefore, the specific aims of this project are: (1) Applying ...

Mitochondrial DNA content in cardiovascular ageing and disease: a population study. KU Leuven
A major burden of modern society is the progressive increase in age-associated diseases such as heart failure (HF). The genetic and environmental drivers of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction progression remain to be elucidated. LV dysfunction is associated with changes in cardiac energy metabolism. Mitochondria play a central role in a variety of cardiac cell functions. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content correlates with the size and number ...
