Per Madsen serves as a Professor at the University of Copenhagen with dual appointments in the Department of Clinical Medicine (Internal medicine: Cardiology) and the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports. His research investigates cardiovascular health outcomes in children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) and patients with type 2 diabetes, utilizing advanced magnetic resonance imaging methodologies.

Research Interests: His work centers on pediatric cardiology and diabetic cardiovascular complications, examining autonomic nervous function, myocardial blood flow, and long-term metabolic effects of ART. Key methodologies include cardiac MRI for non-invasive assessment of heart structure/function and comparative studies of frozen versus fresh embryo transfer outcomes. Research spans bone mineralization, adipose tissue distribution, and microvascular dysfunction.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2024-2025) reveal dual research trajectories: (1) Cardiovascular/metabolic outcomes in ART-conceived children, focusing on comparative embryo transfer techniques; (2) Early myocardial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes, emphasizing microvascular disease mechanisms and SGLT2 inhibitor effects. This work bridges reproductive medicine, pediatrics, and diabetology through advanced imaging, with publications in Human Reproduction Open, American Journal of Physiology, and Cardiovascular Diabetology.
