Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andreas Edsfeldt"
- Andreas Edsfeldt's recent research focuses on the intersection of cardiovascular health and disease, particularly investigating the roles of immune responses, inflammatory processes, and genetic factors in atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
- Key findings include the association of sclerostin gene expression with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis, and the identification of lipid-associated macrophages transitioning to an inflammatory state, which increases the risk of cerebrovascular complications.
- Additionally, his studies explore innovative diagnostic tools like photon-counting CT for detecting rupture-prone plaques, and assess the impact of genetic predispositions on severe COVID-19 outcomes related to cardiovascular risks.
