Trine Bernholdt Rasmussen serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, specializing in Internal Medicine with a cardiology focus. Her research spans cardiac rehabilitation, mental health impacts following cardiac events, and patient-centered outcomes in heart disease management.

Dr. Rasmussen's research program demonstrates particular strength in qualitative methodologies examining patient and caregiver experiences, especially regarding infective endocarditis and heart valve surgery recovery. She also investigates practical interventions including MediYoga for hypertension management and digital health technologies like smartwatches for post-operative monitoring. Her work frequently addresses the intersection between physical health conditions and psychosocial factors affecting quality of life and return-to-work outcomes.

Her publication record shows significant scholarly impact, particularly her contribution to the highly influential 2023 ESC Guidelines for endocarditis management, which has received over 900 citations and is referenced in 7 clinical guideline sources. Recent work in journals like European Heart Journal and Resuscitation demonstrates her active role in advancing cardiac care practices.

• Specializes in patient-centered cardiac outcomes research
• Active contributor to international clinical guidelines
• Research bridges clinical cardiology and psychosocial health aspects
• Investigates innovative rehabilitation approaches and digital health applications

Dr. Rasmussen maintains strong collaborations across Danish healthcare institutions, with research addressing both immediate clinical concerns and longer-term quality-of-life outcomes for cardiac patients. Her work on driving restrictions following defibrillator implantation and mental health impacts on work reintegration demonstrates her focus on practical patient outcomes beyond traditional medical metrics.
