New Publication: GRETA Makes Large-Scale Genetic Results Accessible to Researchers
Cardio-CARE researchers have published a paper in BMC Bioinformatics describing GRETA (Genetic REsults daTAbase), a secure database for exploring the results of whole-genome sequencing studies. Modern sequencing studies produce billions of results, which are hard to search without programming skills. GRETA currently stores more than one billion genetic associations from hundreds of
Farewell to the Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Klaus-Michael Kühne

Absence of Classical Cardiovascular Risk Factors Is Associated With More Than ten Extra Years of Life
Our most recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on March 30, 2025, reveals that absence of these risk factors at 50 years of age was associated with more than a decade greater life expectancy. Amazing collaboration with the Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium investigators under the leadership
Diagnostic Accuracy of a Machine Learning Algorithm Using Point-of-Care High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I for Rapid Rule-Out of Myocardial Infarction: a Retrospective Study
We are excited to share our latest research from Cardio-CARE, in collaboration with the University Heart and Vascular Center Hamburg at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Our teams have shown that a heart attack can be ruled out faster and more efficiently by combining a rapid troponin test with
New Quality Control Methods for Genome Sequencing Data
An international team from Cardio-CARE in Davos, the University Hospital of Zurich, and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is developing key strategies for collecting high-quality data in large-scale genetic studies. The project aims to investigate the genetic factors that contribute to cardiovascular and other diseases. The work is based on
