Better diagnosis and treatment of heart patients

Heart disease has a very high incidence rate, so it serves the public interest that we continuously develop new and refine existing methods and techniques for diagnosing and treating heart patients.

Our particular strength in this area is to use the opportunities that technology and digitalization offer to find solutions to the problems of cardiologists in clinical practice in order to help patients in the best possible way.

Doctors and engineers find solutions together

Our research in cardiotechnology is thus characterized by very close collaboration between engineering researchers at the university and cardiologists with knowledge and experience from day-to-day clinical practice at the hospital. This combination of expertise is an indispensable component in the efforts to develop methods that make a noticeable difference for patients.

Special expertise: Large amounts of data and international network

In addition to making their mark in areas such as cardio acoustics, advanced ECG analysis and 3D ultrasound, the researchers have particular expertise in using and analysing very large amounts of data, which enables them not only to diagnose more quickly, but also to predict potential future disease.

Research areas

  • Cardiovascular diagnosis and monitoring
  • Cardio acoustics
  • Thrombosis
  • Advanced ECG analysis
  • 3D ultrasound
