Dennis Wolf
(Freibug, Germany): Acute exposure to air pollution aggravates acute myocardial infarction and subsequent ischemic heart failure in mice
“The ACVC was a great opportunity to bring together both, clinical and basic research in the field of acute cardiovascular care. I am convinced that the ACVC research prize is a unique chance for young researcher to present and promote their ideas”
And the 3 finalists
Jakob Hartvig Thomsen (Copenhagen, Denmark)) : Heart rate during targeted temperature management: A novel early marker of outcome in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with both 33°C and 36°C.
“I was honored that our results were selected for the final in the ACVC research prize 2015. The congress was a perfect forum to present and discuss our findings and we received questions and comments which have aspired us to new studies in the field of post cardiac arrest care. The other selected finalist covered important and yet very different aspects of acute cardiac care, and I can certainly recommend future attendees of the congress to participate in this dedicated session of novel research."
Anoop Shah (Edinburgh, UK)) : High-sensitivitycardiactroponinonpresentation toruleoutacutemyocardialinfarction
