Cardiovascular

The Department of Cardiovascular Imaging is the most clinical Department in the Division of Imaging Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. Our main goals are:

• Delivery of a state of the art clinical service
• Translation of novel technical developments into clinical applications
• Validation, optimization and development of novel imaging techniques.

Our main interest is oriented towards cardiovascular disease mainly in the areas of myocardial ischaemia (coronary artery disease, heart attack), heart failure, electrophysiology and device therapy, vascular disease, especially aortic disease and heart disease in children and grown-ups with congenital defects.

Our research spans from preclinical and phantom work to large multicenter trials with the goal to support or change current guidelines.
