Dr. Thomas Gorter is an active Associate Professor in the Department of Cardiology at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), University of Groningen. His research focuses on advanced cardiac pathophysiology with particular emphasis on heart failure mechanisms and adipose tissue-cardiac interactions.
His primary research interests span Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), Epicardial Adipose Tissue pathology, and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging applications. Notable work examines the role of adipose tissue in left atrial dysfunction, ventricular arrhythmias in genetic cardiomyopathies, and gut-heart axis interactions through short-chain fatty acid metabolism. His fingerprint analysis reveals high activity in cardiac imaging (67%), adipose tissue research (41%), and right ventricular function studies (34%).
Recent publications demonstrate consistent output in top cardiology journals including European Heart Journal and Clinical Research in Cardiology, with multiple 2025 publications indicating active research momentum. His work contributes significantly to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being through cardiovascular disease research.
Dr. Gorter actively supervises academic work as evidenced by the 'Supervised Work (1)' designation in his profile, and collaborates extensively within the UMCG cardiology network and international research teams. His current projects investigate metabolic aspects of heart failure and adipose tissue dysfunction in cardiac pathologies.
