The Future of Heart Care
In a unique joint inaugural lecture, Professors Folkert Asselbergs, Steven Chamuleau, and Robert Klautz explored the future of cardiovascular care. Their vision focuses on the year 2040, a time when technological innovations, network medicine, and artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally transform the roles of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.
With the upcoming opening of the Amsterdam UMC Heart Center in 2026 featuring cardiac catheterization labs and an advanced interventional MRI suite Amsterdam once again cements its position as a hub of innovation. But the professors’ perspective extended even further. They outlined a future where AI and genetic treatments like CRISPR Cas will revolutionize heart care, and network medicine will dissolve traditional silos between specialties.
“No more boundaries between specialties, hospitals, or technology,” said by Chamuleau. Patients will also play a different role: thanks to AI and personal health platforms, they will have greater control over their care.
