Jari van der Eijk

Jari van der Eijk is a Researcher at the Department of Cardiology within the Erasmus University Medical Center at Erasmus University Rotterdam. His primary academic affiliation centers on cardiovascular research with a focus on interventional cardiology techniques and long-term clinical outcomes.

Dr. van der Eijk's research specializes in the application of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. His work investigates how FFR measurements post-PCI correlate with 5-year clinical outcomes including adverse events, target vessel revascularization, and myocardial infarction. This research contributes significantly to evidence-based practices in managing coronary artery disease through observational study methodologies.

His recent publication in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions (2025) represents the FFR SEARCH Study findings, demonstrating how functional assessment guides optimal coronary revascularization strategies. The research shows consistent patterns in cardiovascular outcomes related to FFR thresholds, with particular emphasis on reducing adverse events in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction cases through precision intervention techniques.
