Clinical Cardiovascular Trials and Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Our reaserch group has a long-lasting interest and activity in the field of clinical cardiovascular trials in a international collaborative network originating from Eugene Braunwalds and the TIMI-group i Boston. The competence and network from that work has in recent years been used to initiate and lead research in adult congenital heart disease. We are now doing observational, registry and interventional trials with the field of congenital heart disease with publications in high-impact journals and external support from the Heart and Lung foundation.
