Full name:
Personalised Decision Support for Heart Valve Disease
Duration:
1.02.2016 - 31.01.2019
Aim:
Valvular Heart Disease currently affects 2.5% of the population, but is overwhelmingly a disease of the elderly and consequently on the rise. It is dominated by two conditions, Aortic Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation, both of which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet which pose a truly demanding challenge for treatment optimisation.

By combining multiple complex modelling components developed in recent EC-funded research projects, a comprehensive, clinically-compliant decision-support system was developed to meet this challenge, by:
  • Quantifying individualised disease severity and patient impairment,
  • Predicting disease progression,
  • Ranking the effectiveness of alternative candidate procedures,
  • Optimising the patient-specific intervention plan.
This algorithmically-driven process dramatically improved outcomes and consistency across Europe in this fast-growing patient group, maximising individual, societal and economic outcomes.
