Work at the Institute

On the basis of many years of expertise in the field of clinical, epidemiological, translational and fundamental research, the creation of this Institute is intended to form the foundation for new integrative and interprofessional approaches in clinical research in the ever-growing field of cardiometabolic diseases. This will involve an ongoing exchange of ideas and personnel with the Center for Clinical Heart Research, Oslo.
The focus is currently on two projects:

  1. A study in the field of hypertonia in collaboration with the Lower Austrian Pharmaceutical Society
  2. A study in the field of diabetes and the heart at the interface between practitioners and the in-patient sector.
