Geert-Jan Geersing has been a full professor at UMC Utrecht, with a combined focus on clinical work as a general practitioner and research in cardiovascular disease management in primary care over the past 10-15 years. He possesses a strong background in predictive analytics, particularly concerning cardiovascular conditions associated with hypercoagulability and anticoagulation, such as venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF). His research has focused on creating prediction models for the early detection of pulmonary embolism, utilizing individual patient data and meta-analytical techniques. Additionally, Geersing has contributed to prognostic prediction models assessing stroke risk in AF patients and bleeding risk for those receiving anticoagulant medications. His current work targets chronic care models for an increasing population of frail elderly patients with multimorbidity and cardiovascular conditions. Geersing has recently presented on the successful FRAIL-AF randomized controlled trial at the ESC 2023 hotline session, which illustrates his commitment to improving cardiovascular health through high-quality research aimed at early detection, risk-stratification, and innovation in primary care.
