Department of Medical and Health Sciences (IMH)

We have a long tradition of interdisciplinary research and education across traditional subject and faculty boundaries. Our subject areas include preclinical research, applied clinical research, health sciences, community-oriented and technical research. It provides good conditions for translational projects, both from 'bench to bedside' and 'bedside to society ".

Research at IMH

Evaluation of Aortic valve interventions

In an observational cohort study we follow patients with aortic valve disease from evaluation through the surgery or catheter based intervention to one year follow up.

Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common indication for mitral valve surgery. A repair of the valve results in a more beneficial outcome than a replacement with a prosthesis.

Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is common in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. We study the impact of different ablation techniques on apoptosis, inflammatory response, atrial function and clinical outcome.
