Cardiovascular diseases, imaging
Biography
Juhani Knuuti’s research has focused on the physiology and pathophysiology, diagnosis
and new therapies of coronary artery disease, heart failure and metabolic diseases. The
research is also focused on developing and utilizing novel noninvasive imaging methods
(PET, SPECT, echocardiography, MRI and CT) that will help to determine the risk and
severity of CHD and heart failure and provide guidance for therapy decisions. The recent
focus in cardiac research has been on vulnerable plaques, cardiac remodelling and
multimodality and hybrid imaging. In metabolic and diabetes research, the focus has been
in the interactions between different organs and heart in the pathogenesis and
development of the cardiac diseases.
