Andreea-Iulia Motoc

Andreea-Iulia Motoc, M.D., is a physician and researcher at Vrije Universiteit Brussel's Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy and University Hospital Brussels (UZB), specializing in cardiology with clinical focus on cardiac surgery and cardiovascular diseases. Her work bridges clinical practice and advanced cardiovascular research within the Department of Cardiology.

Her primary research spans cardiac electrophysiology—including Brugada syndrome (100% fingerprint match) and atrial fibrillation (64%)—and advanced echocardiography techniques, particularly three-dimensional methods for heart function assessment. She investigates coronary artery disease mechanisms, infective endocarditis outcomes, and heart failure diagnostics, leveraging imaging technologies to address critical gaps in arrhythmia management and ischemic heart disease.

Recent publications demonstrate her leadership in multicenter arrhythmia studies (OCCL-ILR), FFRCT clinical applications for revascularization, and exposome-coronary disease relationships. Her work consistently emphasizes real-world registry data and European collaborative networks, particularly through ESC initiatives, driving innovation in diagnostic protocols and patient management strategies.

Dr. Motoc actively mentors through master's theses on 3D echocardiography and endocarditis outcomes, while her 95+ academic activities—including EACVI workshop leadership and conference presentations—highlight her role in advancing cardiovascular imaging education across Europe.
