Research interests

Martin Riesenhuber is a medical doctor focused on clinical cardiology and cardiovascular research with broad experience in cardiac device therapy, electrophysiology and large animal models, including diagnostic and interventional coronary angiography, cardiac imaging, device and drug testing and translational studies for cardiac remodeling in pigs. He is part of the consortium of CResPace EU-project, developing a new generation of CRT devices, adapting beat-to-beat to the individual needs of patients.

During the diploma program medicine at the Medical University of Vienna (completed in 2017) he received two merit-based scholarships, gained experience in preclinical intensive care medicine and analyzed up to 1,300 24h-ECGs. He did 8 months of clinical training in Switzerland.

Working within the research group of Univ. Prof. Dr. Pavone-Gyöngyösi since 2015, he is a PhD candidate since 2017.
