Professor, Head of Unit

An overarching goal of my research is to develop and apply novel imaging methods to explore the complex interrelationship between abnormal blood flow and cardiovascular disease.

Presentation

Imaging of the interrelationship between abnormal blood flow and cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death both in Sweden and globally. The main function of the cardiovascular system is to pump and distribute blood to the entire body. In healthy individuals, this happens in an efficient and well-organized manner, but age- and disease-related changes disrupt the basic conditions for this system and can result in abnormal blood flow. In addition to being a sign of cardiovascular disease, abnormal blood flow can also lead to worsened conditions in several cardiovascular diseases. This applies, for example, to atherosclerosis, which every year is behind a significant number of heart attacks and strokes.

My research focuses on exploring the complex relationship between abnormal blood flow and cardiovascular diseases. By developing and applying innovative methods for medical imaging, especially with the help of magnetic resonance imaging, I strive to be able to quantify and visualize blood flow, its impact on blood vessels, and the status of the vessel wall. By integrating technology and medicine in an interdisciplinary research environment, my research contributes to increasing the understanding of the cardiovascular system in both normal conditions and in disease, and opens doors for new diagnostic and treatment methods.
