The research program is comprised of three parts. The plan is to study patients sent to the V\u00e1rosmajor Heart and Vascular Center for cardiac CTs, those on the heart transplant waiting list, and those that have suffered acute myocardial infarctions. Based on the results of the three phases, and through the combined analysis of images and biomarkers, they plan to develop a new type of personalized risk assessment process, which could form the basis for establishing precision medicine in this field of cardiology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17323\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k-753x502.jpg 753w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2019\/06\/48137611216_7492139a73_k-203x135.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>In 2019, 16 new research teams can be established under the leadership of highly talented young researchers, announced \u00c1d\u00e1m T\u00f6r\u00f6k, the secretary-general of MTA.
