Pontus Andell

Clinically active cardiologist at Karolinska University Hospital, dedicating 50% of my time to research. My work focuses on identifying high-risk groups for acute myocardial infarction and leading an RCT on stair walking to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health in individuals with hypertension, obesity, and physical inactivity.

• Epidemiological studies on cardiovascular disease to identify trends and emerging clinical challenges, with a current focus on the interplay between ADHD and CVD, COPD and CVD, and young patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction.
• Designing pragmatic RCTs evaluating interventions to address emerging cardiovascular challenges, with a particular emphasis on improving lifestyle factors to enhance health outcomes at a scalable, low cost.
