ICaR-VU Principal Investigators Specialization Cardiology; Heart Failure; Diastolic Heart Failure Name Walter J. Paulus, MD, PhD (09-07-1952) Current position Professor of Pathophysiology, VU University Medical Center Amsterdam Bio sketch Key Publications (5) Hirsch 1-1-2012 Main contributions to congresses, memberships of scientific societies International activities Prof Dr WJ Paulus focused his scientific career on diastolic myocardial dysfunction in heart failure. During his cardiology fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) it became apparent to him that patients could suffer from heart failure without a cardiac contractile deficit. In these patients, diastolic stiffening of the myocardium was compromising cardiac function. He founded the European Study Group on diastolic heart failure to address these issues. Their reports on the diagnosis of DHF (Eur Heart J 1998;19:990; Eur Heart J 2007;28:2539) rank among the most cited papers of the European Heart Journal. He coordinates the FP7Health 2010 project of the European Commission on diastolic heart failure (Acronym: MEDIA; Budget: 12.106€). He also chairs the scientific committee of the interuniversity cardiological institute of the Netherlands (ICIN) and co-edits “Cardiology”, one of the major textbooks in cardiology, whose third edition appeared in 2009.
