Biography

He have been involved in the research: “Relationship between endothelially derived vasoactive agents (endothelin-1 and endothelial nitric oxide) and diseases of the aortic valve and ascending aorta”. The scientific project is in collaboration with Anders Franco-Cereceda, Professor and Academic Head, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Karolinska University Hospital of Stockholm. He also engaged in the “ASAP-project (Advanced Study of Aortic Pathology)” at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Karolinska University Hospital. The ASAP study is the largest world-wide evaluation of patients with bicuspid aortic valve undergoing cardiac surgery recruiting 600 patients over a 6 year period. He was also involved in the OPERA multi-centre trial. This is a large multi-center study to examine whether peri-operative intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will reduce the occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation or flutter in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. He hope to extend his current work by examining the effects of several cardiovascular drugs and surgical technique on LV remodelling and to evaluate it trough imaging modalities available (cardiac CT scan and RMI)
