About
Robert-Jan van Geuns is a leading interventional cardiologist and clinical researcher whose work bridges lipidomics, cardiovascular risk prediction, and advanced coronary interventions. His research focuses on identifying novel molecular lipid species that predict long-term outcomes in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, as well as refining percutaneous coronary intervention techniques. In a landmark 2018 study (157 citations), van Geuns and his team demonstrated that plasma concentrations of ten specific molecular lipid species and three ceramide ratios strongly predict major adverse cardiac events over nearly five years in CAD patients—a finding that moves beyond traditional cholesterol metrics toward precision medicine. This work, conducted in 581 patients, has significant implications for risk stratification and personalized treatment. Beyond lipidomics, van Geuns has contributed extensively to trials on drug-eluting stents and bioresorbable scaffolds, helping shape modern interventional practice. His research is widely cited for its translational impact, offering clinicians new tools to identify high-risk patients and improve long-term outcomes.
