Lars Søndergaard

Lars Søndergaard is a Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine, specializing in Cardiology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. With over 483 research publications, he is a leading expert in interventional cardiology, particularly focusing on transcatheter aortic valve interventions and management of valvular heart disease.

Dr. Søndergaard's primary research interests include:

• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and replacement (TAVR)
• Management of aortic stenosis in complex and high-risk patients
• Antithrombotic therapies following cardiac valve interventions
• Long-term outcomes of structural heart disease interventions
• Cardiac damage assessment following valve procedures
• Rehospitalization risk factors after transcatheter valve procedures

His recent work has focused on several major clinical trials including the ASCoP registry, NOTION-2, and NOTION-4 trials, which have significantly contributed to advancing the field of interventional cardiology. His research spans both technical aspects of valve procedures and broader patient outcomes, with particular attention to safety and efficacy in diverse patient populations.

Dr. Søndergaard collaborates extensively with international research teams across Europe, as evidenced by his numerous multi-center clinical trials. His work has been disseminated through hundreds of peer-reviewed publications, with significant impact in the cardiology community as shown by citations and media coverage of his research.
