Bram Roosens

Bram Roosens is a Physician Scientist in Cardiology at the Department of Cardiology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZ Brussel). His expertise spans non-invasive cardiology, cardiac imaging (echocardiography, FFR-CT), and valve disease management (aortic valve sclerosis, endocarditis). He holds a PhD in Medicine and an MD from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (2001–2014).

Education highlights include certificates in Electrocardiogram (2018), Basic Life Support (2018), Good Clinical Practice (2015), and specialized training in radioprotection and micro-CT imaging. His research focuses on valve diseases, cardiac imaging innovations, and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular conditions.

Recent research emphasizes arrhythmia management, acute heart failure protocols, and cost-effectiveness of diagnostic tools. He has authored 75+ publications and received the 2013 Young Investigator Award from the BWGNICI. He actively supervises clinical and experimental studies, including investigations into antithrombotic strategies and calcific valve disease mechanisms.

Collaborations span Belgium and EU networks, addressing endocarditis registries and macrophage imaging in inflammatory diseases. His work bridges clinical practice with advanced imaging technologies to improve cardiovascular care outcomes.
