Christian Juhl Terkelsen is a clinical professor at Aarhus University and an interventional cardiologist at Aarhus University Hospital, performing PCI, CTO, TAVI & TASH procedures, with special interest in optimizing invasive procedures using radial access and ultrasound in alternate access.
Chair of the Research and database working group in Danish Cardiac Society, he is supervising for twelve ongoing or finished PhD-projects on various topics including prehospital diagnosis in patients with AMI, or Value of primary PCI in patients with NSTEMI.
Responsible for the TAVI program at Aarhus University hospital, he is leading the recently published COMPARE TAVI trial.
He is widely recognized in cardiology, with numerous publications and participation in international conferences.
