Claes Held serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Medical Sciences; Cardiology at Uppsala University and is affiliated with UCR-Uppsala Clinical Research Center. His research spans clinical cardiology with particular emphasis on coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and the intersection between cardiovascular medicine and psychological factors.
Dr. Held's research interests center on cardiology, with specific focus on coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and the relationship between psychosocial factors and cardiovascular outcomes. His work examines vulnerable plaque characteristics, clonal hematopoiesis in coronary disease, cardiac rehabilitation efficacy, and the effects of beta-blockers on anxiety following myocardial infarction. His research demonstrates how psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and depression significantly impact cardiovascular prognosis and treatment outcomes.
His publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on clinical trials and registry-based research through collaborations with SWEDEHEART and international cardiovascular research consortia. Recent work shows increasing focus on personalized medicine approaches, integration of psychological factors into cardiovascular risk assessment, and evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease. His research often bridges physiological mechanisms with patient-centered outcomes, particularly examining quality of life metrics alongside traditional clinical endpoints.
Dr. Held has been instrumental in numerous large-scale clinical trials including the ISCHEMIA trials, PROSPECT II substudy, STABILITY substudy, and the REDUCE-AMI trial. His collaborative work extends across multidisciplinary teams in Sweden and internationally, contributing to significant advances in understanding cardiovascular disease mechanisms and improving patient management strategies.
