Interventional X-ray system equipped with 3D rotational angiography for cardiovascular research in preclinical large animal models (INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY) KU Leuven
Current strategies for early treatment of acute coronary
syndromes (i.e. heart attacks) have improved acute survival
but subsequent heart failure and arrhythmias (sudden
cardiac death) are the long-term cause of mortality and
morbidity. Responsible use of large animals as preclinical
translational models remains a cornerstone in
cardiovascular research
and play an irrefutable role in exploratory and validation
research, avoiding a high-risk shortcut from basic research
to randomised clinical trials. In order to be relevant,
translational ...
