Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Cardiology

Gerd Heusch spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ischemia, Ischemic preconditioning and Myocardial infarction. Gerd Heusch has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Endocrinology and Surgery. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Microcirculation and Cardiology.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ischemia, Anterior Descending Coronary Artery and Artery is strongly linked to Anesthesia. His Ischemic preconditioning research incorporates elements of Cardioprotection, Troponin I, Heart metabolism, Connexin and Pharmacology. His studies in Myocardial infarction integrate themes in fields like Cause of death and Coronary circulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Opening of mitochondrial K(ATP) channels triggers the preconditioned state by generating free radicals. (623 citations)
  • A Cathepsin D-Cleaved 16 kDa Form of Prolactin Mediates Postpartum Cardiomyopathy (572 citations)
  • Plasma nitrite reflects constitutive nitric oxide synthase activity in mammals. (508 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Gerd Heusch mostly deals with Internal medicine, Cardiology, Ischemia, Myocardial infarction and Cardioprotection. His study looks at the intersection of Internal medicine and topics like Endocrinology with Receptor. His research links Heart rate with Cardiology.

His Ischemia research incorporates themes from Anesthesia, Circulatory system, Pharmacology and Perfusion. Many of his research projects under Myocardial infarction are closely connected to In patient with In patient, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Gerd Heusch combines subjects such as Signal transduction, Mitochondrion, Cell biology and Coronary occlusion with his study of Cardioprotection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (66.82%)
  • Cardiology (53.48%)
  • Ischemia (28.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (66.82%)
  • Cardiology (53.48%)
  • Myocardial infarction (21.21%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Internal medicine, Cardiology, Myocardial infarction, Cardioprotection and Ischemia are his primary areas of study. In his study, Protein kinase B is inextricably linked to Endocrinology, which falls within the broad field of Internal medicine. His Percutaneous coronary intervention, Infarction and Acute coronary syndrome study in the realm of Myocardial infarction connects with subjects such as In patient.

His Cardioprotection research includes elements of Anesthesia, Troponin I, Infarct size, Reperfusion injury and Ischemic preconditioning. His Ischemic preconditioning study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Troponin, Placebo and Randomized controlled trial. As part of his studies on Ischemia, Gerd Heusch often connects relevant areas like Perfusion.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction and strategies of protection beyond reperfusion: a continual challenge (266 citations)
  • Practical guidelines for rigor and reproducibility in preclinical and clinical studies on cardioprotection. (194 citations)
  • Guidelines for experimental models of myocardial ischemia and infarction. (192 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Cardiology

Gerd Heusch mainly focuses on Cardioprotection, Internal medicine, Myocardial infarction, Cardiology and Reperfusion injury. His Cardioprotection study is focused on Ischemia in general. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology, Signal transduction and Surgery as well as Internal medicine.

His Myocardial infarction research integrates issues from Heart failure and Coronary circulation. His study looks at the relationship between Reperfusion injury and fields such as Coronary occlusion, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein kinase B and Cell biology.
