The European Association of Cardiology (ESC) is an independent, non-profit organisation and represents more than 95,000 decision-makers and healthcare professionals in the field of cardiology. The ESC acts in the interest of patients by providing cardiologists with the support and tools they need to deliver the best possible care.

In phase one of the development of the PROFID risc prediction model we analysed 19 datasets from Europe, Israel and the US, based on a collection of existing highly phenotyped data with the largest number of post-MI patients (~225,000 observations).

PROFID was featured prominently in two separate sessions at the European Heart Rhythm Association congress – EHRA 2022 in Copenhagen (3 April – 5 April 2022).

We are proud to announce that PROFID has been selected for a Late Breaking Science session at the EHRA 2022 congress in Copenhagen. Dr. Nikolaos Dagres will give a presentation on Sunday, April 3rd at 1:55 pm CET in Room 1.

Prof. Peek from the University of Manchester is leading Work Package 1 “Risk Score Development” of PROFID. Together with his team he analysed 19 data sets (from more than 200.000 patients) to develop a new model for predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction.

Patients can make a valuable contribution and improve societal impact through their engagement in research projects. In implementing its work, PROFID ensures that patients’ perspective is included through the project partner German Heart Foundation.
