معرفی
Professor Stefan James is a prominent cardiologist at Uppsala University, holding dual appointments at the Department of Medical Sciences (Cardiology) and the UCR-Uppsala Clinical Research Center. Based at Akademiska sjukhuset (Uppsala University Hospital), he contributes significantly to clinical care, research, and academic leadership in cardiovascular medicine.
His research spans multiple critical domains within cardiology, with particular emphasis on myocardial infarction management, cardiometabolic risk assessment, transcatheter aortic valve interventions, and coronary artery disease pathophysiology. Professor James leverages the SWEDEHEART registry extensively in his work, contributing to evidence-based cardiology practice through large-scale observational studies and clinical trials. His recent research focuses on vulnerable plaque characteristics (PROSPECT II study), novel pharmacotherapies like SGLT2 inhibitors, and registry-based investigations of transcatheter valve procedures.
Professor James maintains an active publication record in leading cardiology journals including the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Circulation, and European Heart Journal. His work demonstrates consistent productivity with numerous high-impact articles published across 2023-2025. He frequently collaborates with international researchers and serves as principal investigator for major clinical trials including DAPA-MI and PROSPECT II.
- Principal Investigator: DAPA-MI trial (Dapagliflozin in Myocardial Infarction)
- Key Contributor: PROSPECT II study (vulnerable coronary plaques)
- Member: ESC Scientific Documents Committee
- Collaborator: SWEDEHEART registry research
As a mentor, Professor James contributes to training the next generation of cardiovascular specialists. His work with national and international registries has established him as a key figure in cardiovascular outcomes research, influencing clinical practice and healthcare policy both in Sweden and globally. His research consistently aims to translate scientific findings into improved patient outcomes and evidence-based clinical practice.
