Specializations
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine
Investigator Hessel Busscher concentrates on disorders of the arterial system and metabolic risk factors, targeting conditions such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation and related cerebrovascular events.
- Primary prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events
- Therapeutic strategies for lipid lowering and lipoprotein(a) reduction
- Optimization of antithrombotic regimens in high‑risk patients
- Management of obesity and severe hypertriglyceridemia
All research activities are coordinated through Gelre Hospitals in Apeldoorn.
Pulmonary and Respiratory Disorders
The clinical focus includes chronic obstructive airway diseases and acute lung injury, with emphasis on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, bronchiectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to infection.
- Evaluation of novel inhaled therapies for COPD exacerbation reduction
- Assessment of anti‑inflammatory agents in severe asthma control
- Investigations into antimicrobial strategies for bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas colonization
- Supportive interventions for ARDS management in critical care
These efforts aim to improve respiratory outcomes and quality of life for affected patients.
Oncology and Hematology
In the field of cancer care, Dr. Busscher engages with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, addressing diseases such as non‑small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
- Targeted therapy integration with immunochemotherapy regimens
- Evaluation of maintenance strategies post‑autologous stem cell transplantation
- Biomarker‑driven trials for personalized oncology
- Comparative effectiveness of novel agents in relapsed/refractory lymphoma
Clinical investigations are conducted within the surgical department’s oncology collaboration network.
Renal and Kidney Disease
The investigator’s work also spans chronic kidney pathology, focusing on chronic kidney disease in diabetes, end‑stage kidney disease, and associated cardiovascular complications.
- Impact of sodium‑glucose cotransporter‑2 inhibitors on renal outcomes
- Anti‑inflammatory approaches to reduce hs‑CRP in dialysis patients
- Evaluation of combined finerenone and empagliflozin therapy
- Kidney‑friendly strategies for patients with severe albuminuria
Research integrates multidisciplinary nephrology expertise to address the cardio‑renal axis.
Infectious Diseases and Immunology
Dr. Busscher’s portfolio includes studies on bacterial and viral infections, with special interest in pneumonia, influenza, and prosthetic joint infections, as well as immune‑modulating therapies for autoimmune conditions.
- Adjunctive aspirin use in community‑acquired pneumonia
- Targeted antibiotic monotherapy versus combination regimens for infected joint prostheses
- Immunosuppressive protocols for corneal transplantation
- Therapeutic evaluation of rituximab in relapsing polymyalgia rheumatica
These projects aim to refine infection control and immune regulation in clinical practice.
