Xavier Galloo

Xavier Galloo is a physician scientist affiliated with Vrije Universiteit Brussel, holding dual appointments as an unpaid employee in the Physiotherapy, Human Physiology and Anatomy department and as a physician in the Cardiology department at University Hospital Brussels (UZB). His research focuses on cardiovascular imaging and structural heart disease, with particular expertise in right ventricular function and tricuspid valve pathology.

His research interests include:

• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (100% focus)
• Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency (77% focus)
• Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Remodeling
• Heart Failure and Right Ventricular Function

Dr. Galloo's recent work examines advanced diagnostic thresholds for right ventricular assessment, cardiac amyloidosis implications, and innovative treatments for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. His publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on translating imaging findings into clinical practice, particularly regarding tricuspid valve disorders and right heart function.

He was awarded the Viviane Conraads Prijs on March 28, 2024, recognizing his contributions to cardiovascular medicine. His active conference participation includes presentations at "3D echocardiography: meet the experts!" (January 2024) and "Physical activity and Sports: How can imaging guide?" (October 2024), reflecting his commitment to advancing cardiac imaging techniques.

With 77 total publications, 725 citations, and an h-index of 13, Dr. Galloo maintains a robust research trajectory, with 10 publications scheduled for 2025 alone, demonstrating continued productivity and relevance in the field of cardiovascular medicine.
