Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. To address this challenge, the strategic program Circulatory Health creates scientific and societal impact by bringing together cardiovascular researchers, clinicians, and educators.
The Circulatory Health Research Center (CHRC) encompasses a wide range of activities in clinical, translational and basic research with translation to the clinic and cardiovascular education. Our mission is to (inter)nationally reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease. At CHRC, the focus is on four patient groups:
The Circulatory Health Research Center has a special focus on four patient groups. The work we do for these patients is strengthened by eight research approaches: Clinical epidemiology and trials, Data science & AI, Diversity and health equity, Disease modelling, Genomics, Imaging, Local drug delivery and Prevention.
Research approaches Circulatory Health
Circulatory Health Research Center creates scientific and societal value by connecting cardiovascular researchers, clinicians and teachers. Because people work in different departments of the UMC Utrecht, we speak of a Circulatory Health community.
Are you interested in the exact cause of a myocardial or cerebral infarction or do you want to know how cardiac failure or arrhythmias develop? Or are you more interested in improving prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease? Check out the educational program which is strongly embedded within Utrecht University.
