Over the past 10-15 years, I combined clinical work as a general practitioner with research in the field of cardiovascular disease management in primary care. I have a strong background in prediction analytics, notably in the field of cardiovascular conditions associated with hypercoagulability and anticoagulation, like venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF). As such, I worked on prediction models for early detection of pulmonary embolism (i.e., the most severe condition in the VTE spectrum), using individual patient data meta-analytical techniques. Additionally, my group worked on prognostic prediction models for stroke risk in AF, as well as bleeding risk in patients receiving anticoagulant drugs.

More recently, my work focusses on chronic care models for the growing group of frail elderly cardiovascular patients with multimorbidity, for example our recent ESC 2023 hotline session presentation on the FRAIL-AF randomized controlled trial and the succesful Horizon...
