معرفی
Susanne Nørgaard Madsen serves as a Physician Scientist at Aalborg University's Faculty of Medicine within the Department of Vascular Surgery at Aalborg University Hospital. Her clinical and research work focuses on advancing cardiovascular surgical techniques, particularly in coronary artery bypass procedures.
Her primary research interests include off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, graft patency analysis, and elderly patient outcomes. Her work demonstrates significant contributions to understanding surgical efficacy differences between on-pump and off-pump techniques, with particular attention to heparinization protocols and long-term graft performance. Her research consistently addresses critical questions in surgical decision-making for high-risk patient populations.
Analysis of her publication trends reveals a strong focus on comparative surgical techniques (77% of publications), geriatric cardiovascular interventions (62%), and surgical cost-effectiveness (58%). Her work frequently appears in high-impact journals like Circulation and the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, with multiple studies generating over 100 Scopus citations each.
Madsen actively participates in professional development through conference engagements and organizational memberships. Her involvement spans international forums including the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the Australian Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery. She contributes to the Dansk Thoraxkirurgisk Selskab (Danish Thoracic Surgical Society) as a continuing member since 2010.
