On Wednesday 3 September at 13:30, Steen Hylgaard Jørgensen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Real-Time Assessment of Cardiac Metabolism Using [1-¹³C]-Pyruvate Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Studies in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Heart Failure".
In recent years, attention has been directed towards cardiac energy metabolism, deemed a pivotal factor in the progression of chronic heart failure and a prospective focal point for the development of novel and more targeted therapeutic strategies. Regrettably, existing imaging modalities inadequately capture these metabolic alterations. Within the present ph.d.-project, an advanced method for examining alterations in cardiac energy metabolism in patients with varying degrees of chronic heart failure via hyperpolarized MRI is presented.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium J116-113, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
