Uppsala University Hospital

At Uppsala University Hospital, the clinical trial portfolio focuses on cardiovascular diseases, with studies centered on serious conditions affecting the heart and brain circulation. The research is exploring whether new treatment approaches can improve outcomes for patients and support better clinical decision-making in everyday care.

• Stroke care and the evaluation of treatments aimed at reducing early death after intracerebral haemorrhage
• Takotsubo syndrome and efforts to improve symptom control and overall recovery
• Testing whether established medicines may offer better protection against complications in high-risk patients

This work includes assessing the clinical value of tranexamic acid in acute brain bleeding and studying treatment strategies for Takotsubo syndrome, a heart condition often linked to severe stress.
