Specializations

Cardiovascular Medicine

Research concentrates on therapeutic interventions for heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and valvular disorders.

  • Partial withdrawal of heart failure therapy in remission
  • Hemodynamic impact of sacubitril‑valsartan in HFpEF with secondary mitral regurgitation
  • Combination of acetazolamide and SGLT2i for volume overload in acute heart failure

Eight actively recruiting trials are conducted at the Genk site.

Perioperative and Anesthesia Medicine

Focuses on optimizing intra‑ and postoperative care using agents such as dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone.

  • Nocturnal dexmedetomidine to improve sleep quality after major surgery
  • Dose‑response of intra‑operative dexamethasone on early postoperative outcomes
  • Effect of varying concentrations of ropivacaine on sensory block duration in hallux valgus repair

All studies target enhanced recovery and reduced postoperative fatigue.

Orthopedic and Foot Surgery

Investigates peri‑operative strategies for procedures such as total hip arthroplasty and hallux valgus correction.

  • Impact of moderate‑dose corticosteroids on quality of life after total hip arthroplasty
  • Duration of sensory block with different concentrations of ropivacaine in hallux valgus surgery
  • Recovery metrics in elderly patients undergoing complex orthopedic surgery

Studies aim to improve functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Iron Metabolism and Nutritional Therapy

Explores correction of iron deficiency in cardiopulmonary conditions.

  • Ferric carboxymaltose versus placebo for exercise capacity in pulmonary hypertension with iron deficiency
  • Safety and feasibility of iron repletion in patients with chronic heart disease
  • Effect of iron status on natriuresis in acute heart failure

Research supports integrated management of anemia and cardiovascular health.

Geriatric Surgical Recovery

Targets postoperative outcomes in patients aged 60 years or older undergoing major procedures.

  • Corticosteroid influence on early muscle weakness after complex major surgery
  • Sleep quality enhancement with nocturnal dexmedetomidine in elderly surgical patients
  • Functional recovery after robotic‑assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in older adults

All trials are currently enrolling participants across Belgium.
