Winners open call for collaborative cardiovascular care research projects

During the WCN Congress 2025 ‘Riding the Wave’, the winners of Heart4Data’s third open call were announced. Many good research ideas were submitted, of which three were selected.

This call aims to encourage new or deepened collaborations between researchers from different institutions or different departments within one institute, with a focus on joint scientific development in registry-based cardiovascular research. The goal is to promote sustainable partnerships that contribute to future funding opportunities and a stronger cardiovascular research infrastructure in the Netherlands.The young researchers who will be getting started are:

 

  • Aernoud Fiolet and Michiel Poorthuis:
    “Haemorrhagic transformation of endocarditis related ischaemic stroke during valve surgery”
  • Niels Stens and Esmée Verburgt:
    “Optimizing the timing of cardiac rehabilitation after PCI”
  • Anasha Hancox and Wessel Piersma:
    “Evaluating clinical impact of early inpatient cardiac rehabilitation on readmissions after cardiac surgery”
