Research topics
1. Antithrombotic treatment in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) – we hypothesize that the off-label regimen of dual antithrombotic therapy including dabigatran and reduced dose ticagrelor is superior regarding bleeding risk and non-inferior in terms of ischaemic protection, compared to the standard triple therapy in patients with AF and after ACS, treated with PCI and stenting
2. Multivessel versus staged revascularization in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) – to investigate whether in patients with AMI, PCI of non-culprit lesions reduces the risk of cardiovascular death or AMI
3. The International Takotsubo Registry – a consortium of European/US centres to investigate clinical features, prognostic predictors, and outcome of takotsubo cardiomyopathy
4. Implantation of REDUCER device in ANOCA patients – we hypothesize that the implantation of the Reducer device may essentially improve ischemia, symptom status and quality of life of ANOCA patients
5. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) in AMI patients – to investigate the feasibility of FFR in acute course of AMI (FFR-AMI study)
6. The heart valve for life: polymeric off-the–shelve materials that aim to replace the biovalve and mimize the use of anti-coagulation
