Biography

Jakob Knold is a medical doctor with a specialization in cardiology, affiliated with the Department of Cardiology at Odense University Hospital. His research primarily focuses on coronary heart disease, particularly on the implications of genetically elevated cholesterol levels and familial hypercholesterolemia. His PhD project investigates various aspects of cholesterol management, including the referral rates for lipid clinics and the validation of the Danish clinical quality database for familial hypercholesterolemia. He has been actively involved in research projects that study the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis using vascular ultrasound and coronary CT imaging. He aims to implement interventions that could potentially lower cholesterol levels in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia to prevent premature cardiovascular events. With a strong background in clinical medicine and ongoing research, he is dedicated to advancing the knowledge and treatment of cardiac diseases.
