Eike Nagel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eike Caspar Cornelius Nagel (* 1967 in Cologne ) is a German cardiologist, professor and director of the Institute for Experimental and Translational Cardiovascular Imaging at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main.

Life

Nagel studied human medicine at the University of Cologne from 1986 to 1992 and received his doctorate in 1994 under Udo Sechtem on magnetic resonance tomography . His further training as an internist and cardiologist took place at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Simon), the University Hospital Zurich (Otto M. Hess) and at the German Heart Center Berlin (Eckart Fleck) where he also obtained his habilitation and venia legendi . From 2007 to 2015 he was Professor and Head of Clinical Cardiovascular Imaging at King's College London . Since 2015 he has headed the Institute for Experimental and Translational Cardiovascular Imaging at the University Medical Center Frankfurt am Main.

He conducts research into the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart and established methods such as dobutamine - stress MRI or adenosine -stress MRI for assessment of circulatory disorders of the heart. With 300 scientific publications, 30 book chapters and 20,000 citations, Nagel is a pioneer in the research and clinical use of MRI of the heart. In a pioneering work that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2019, Nagel and an international consortium were able to show that patients with stable chest pain (angina pectoris) can be guided just as safely with perfusion measurements with MRI as with the previous invasive cardiac catheter examination. This saves many cardiac catheter examinations. The work published in JAMA-Cardiology on cardiac involvement in patients after surviving COVID-19 infection achieved great media coverage (Altmetric Score> 2850) . It was shown that the heart is affected in over 3/4 of those infected and, in particular, that many people with benign courses of the disease (few symptoms, no hospital stay) have myocarditis or pericarditis .

In 2016 he received the gold medal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) for his services in the field of science and the establishment of MRI for clinical applications.
