Jess Lambrechtsen

Jess Lambrechtsen is a Clinical Professor at the Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, affiliated with Odense University Hospital (OUH) and the Research Unit of Medicine in Svendborg. He holds both an MD and a PhD and is actively engaged in cardiovascular research and clinical academia.

Research Interests: His work centers on cardiology, particularly coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular imaging (notably coronary computed tomography angiography), aortic aneurysms, and the relationship between metabolic disorders like impaired glucose tolerance and cardiovascular outcomes. He is deeply involved in population-based screening and prospective cohort studies to understand disease progression and risk factors.

Recent Research Trends: His most recent publications (2025) focus on high-risk coronary plaque in diabetic patients, statin effects on aortic aneurysm progression, genetic factors in aortic disease, and hemodynamic impacts in aortic stenosis. These studies utilize advanced imaging and large-scale clinical data, often published in top-tier journals such as Circulation and European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging.

Awards and Recognition: While no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text, his extensive publication record, media recognition as a newly appointed professor in cardiology (March 2021), and participation in significant research projects reflect strong professional standing.

Advising and Grants: He has supervised at least two academic works. He is currently a participant in the AIRCARD project (2023–2027), a PhD-level research initiative exploring the effects of air pollution and traffic noise on cardiometabolic diseases. He has also served on review committees for Region Syddanmark’s PhD and Postdoc fund and at the University of Southern Denmark, indicating active academic service.

Labs and Teams: He collaborates extensively within a cardiovascular research network involving Odense University Hospital, University of Southern Denmark, and other national and international institutions. His work is part of larger teams focused on cardiovascular screening, imaging, and metabolic-cardiovascular interactions, including collaborations with researchers such as Lindholt, Egstrup, Diederichsen, and Precht.
