From Data to Bedside: Risk Calculators in Vascular Ageing and Hypertension – Highlights from Croatia
Risk prediction is transforming the prevention and management of cardio-kidney-metabolic diseases. In this keynote lecture, Professor Bojan Jelaković will discuss the development and clinical application of risk calculators, highlighting Croatian experience and their role in vascular ageing and hypertension.

About the speaker

Professor Bojan Jelaković, MD, PhD, FESH, is Full Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Zagreb School of Medicine and Head of the Department of Nephrology, Dialysis, Arterial Hypertension and Transplantation at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia. He is President of the Croatian Hypertension League and the International Society for Vascular Health; and one of Europe’s leading experts in hypertension, vascular ageing, and cardiovascular prevention. His research has made major contributions to the understanding of Balkan nephropathy, and he has authored hundreds of scientific publications. A frequent invited speaker at international congresses, he was elected a Full Member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in recognition of his outstanding contributions to clinical medicine and cardio-kidney-metabolic research.

We’re delighted to announce that @Prof. Nikolaos Stergiopoulos (EPFL, Switzerland) will be delivering a keynote lecture at this year’s ARTERY conference!

 “Modeling and Analysis of Wave Phenomena in the Arterial System: From Pure Science to Inverse Modeling and AI-Driven Applications”

The lecture will trace his work from foundational arterial wave propagation models and ventricular–arterial coupling, through inverse modeling for non-invasive estimation of central cardiovascular parameters, to his latest AI-driven approaches for cardiac output and blood pressure monitoring.

Prof. Stergiopulos directs the Laboratory of Hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Technology at EPFL, and has authored 250+ publications, 25+ patents, and co-founded several medtech companies including EndoArt SA, Comphya SA, and Rheon Medical SA.
