Cardiovascular research

The Department of Cardiology is part of an advanced cardiovascular centre, equipped with the latest technologies and facilities, and tailored around the needs of cardiovascular research. ​

​​The Heart Centre participates in many international research projects, and patients are often asked to participate in clinical trials.

​​​Each year researchers from the department publish between 100 and 200 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters.

​​Research is part of the job and an obligation for the medical staff. Most research is therefore headed by the cardiologists employed.
