Main concept of the research:
Systematic self-initiated clinical research in cardiology along with patient "loops" at Ullevål in close cooperation with relevant milieus in Helse Sør-Øst.
- The projects are related to acute myocardial infarction and chronic heart disese, including diabetes, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
- All projects are initiated within the research group itself or in cooperation with other research milieus.
- In addition to the clinical problems/questions raised, studies on mechanisms/translational studies ex-vivo are focused, particularly related to pathogenetic understanding of disease and effect mechanisms of interventional principles.
Mainly randomized interventional trials are conducted, but also cross-sectional studies and studies related to systematic biobanking associated with patient registries.
Biobanking, including collection, sample processing, freezing/storage using standarized criteria is central and is an important part of the activity.
