With the launch of Cardiovascular Conversations, the DHZB Foundation is introducing a new monthly event series designed to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue. This initiative aims to enhance internal collaboration among science, clinical practice, and nursing at DHZC, while also establishing new connections with industry, startups, and external innovation partners.
The series will spotlight current topics in research and clinical practice, introduce fresh perspectives for cardiovascular medicine, and cultivate a culture of open, creative innovation. The Foundation warmly invites all interested stakeholders to engage with this dynamic platform, dedicated to shaping the future of cardiovascular healthcare.
September 24, 2025 | Heart Failure: From Molecular Foundations to Therapeutic Concepts
Speaker: Prof. Felix Schönrath, Anna Feuerstein, Lara Jäschke
Oktober 23, 2025 | In October, the focus of the meetup will be on the opportunities of machine learning for various cardiology applications.
PD Dr. Felix Hohendanner and his team are developing machine learning methods for personalized prediction and treatment of arrhythmias. Computer scientist and physician-in-training Dr. Stefan Hegselmann is exploring how the use of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare—e.g., for data-driven creation of medical reports—can be optimized. Software developer and co-founder of the startup Noah Labs, Marcus Hott, will present current approaches in machine learning–based voice analysis for predicting impending decompensation in heart failure.
Speaker: PD Dr. Felix Hohendanner, Dr. Stefan Hegselmann, Marcus Hott
Doctoral candidates can earn 0.2 credit points by participating either in person or virtually. Details for the virtual meeting will be sent via email to registered participants prior to the event. However, we strongly encourage in-person attendance whenever possible to fully engage in the dynamic discussions before and after the scientific talks.
