TRR259 - Aortic Disease
The TRR259 is a Collaborative Research Center funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the University Bonn, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. In a joint and multidisciplinary effort, we are investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aortic disease holistically, with a particular focus on aortic valve stenosis, aortic aneurysm, and aortic dissection. Prospectively, we envision identifying novel pharmacological, interventional, and surgical targets for diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies within the frame of translational and clinical studies.

In 2021, the UKB has the fourth-highest case mix index and the best economic result of the university hospitals in Germany and is ranked number 1 of the university hospitals in NRW in the science ranking (LOMV).
The American Heart Association's journal Circulation provides podcasts of recently published research articles in the field of cardiovascular medicine. The podcasts are intended for a general audience and provide a brief overview of the study's main findings and their potential implications for clinical practice. They also include interviews with the study's authors and other experts to provide additional context and perspective on the research. In the following podcast, a study of our TRR259 members was discussed.
The Annual Meeting of the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association (AHA) was held at McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, Illinois USA from Saturday, Nov 05 through Monday, 07 Nov.
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a nonprofit organization in the United States that funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The AHA conference takes place annually. The meeting provided an invaluable educational experience and an opportunity to network with top minds in the field, as well as a global community of more than 28000 Medical and Cardiology professionals from every subspecialty.
The "Herztage" 2022 of the German Society of Cardiology will take place from 29.09. - 01.10.2022 in Bonn in the World Conference Center. 100 sessions from a total of 11 rooms on current topics from all disciplines of cardiovascular medicine are presented here. Under the umbrella of the DGK Herztage, the congresses “Kardiologie Aktuell”, “Deutsche Rhythm Days” and “AGIKlive” take place. In addition, basic scientists will discuss the latest results from cardiovascular research at the Basic Science Meeting.
