In networked research modules, we investigate the development of cardiovascular diseases in a holistic and multidisciplinary manner.
Our research:
Comprehensive. Measurable. Transformative.
Cardiovascular diseases develop over decades. The various risk factors work together in ways that make their combined effects stronger and affect each person’s health differently. We therefore conduct comprehensive research into potential risks at the earliest stage, measured through innovative procedures, state-of-the-art technology, and valid scientific methods—long before a heart attack or stroke occurs. Our team examines individual measures within various research modules through longitudinal observational and intervention studies to determine who benefits most. These findings lead to personalized therapies that are practical for everyday life and help maintain heart and vascular health for the long term.
Heart Health Study
The Heart Health Study is the "heart" of our mission. Up to 5,000 participants will be comprehensively examined to detect potential risk factors early — before symptoms appear. Patients with existing cardiovascular diseases can also benefit from customized treatment options developed after diagnosis.
By participating, you can invest in your heart health and support research by spending two days as a test participant. Participants may be invited back regularly for follow-ups and scientific monitoring.
Join our mission to prevent cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes through this study.
