Coronary Vascular Cardiology and Conservative Intensive Care Medicine

Our research group focuses on coronary vascular disease and critical care medicine, particularly in the areas of cardiogenic shock, hemodynamics, endothelial function, and microcirculation. Professor Jung and his team employ a multidisciplinary approach encompassing basic, translational, and clinical research to develop innovative treatment strategies for critically ill patients.

In the last decades, advantages in the Cathlab and intensive care medicine are promising. Notable aspects of his work are his involvement in the European project INDICATE indicate-europe.eu ("Connecting Intensive Care Data Across Europe"), which aims to enhance intensive care by linking and analyzing health data across borders by using artificial intelligence models, or, the research groups´ participation and own conduction of (international) multicenter studies. Moreover, our research group aims at improving outcome assessment and risk stratification of critically ill patients. In this regard, we assess novel diagnostic tools, such as retinal microcirculation analyses or tonometry, to strengthen prognostic validity.

Professor Jung's contributions extend to various clinical applications, including advanced diagnostic techniques like Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio (iFR), and intravascular imaging (i.e., IVUS and OCT). These methodologies are integral to the management of chronic coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes.
