Cardiologist

Contact details

Gabija Pundziute is an interventional cardiologist at the University Medical Center Groningen. Her clinical and research activities also involve invasive and non-invasive cardiovascular imaging (including coronary CT-angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging). Current scientific activities focus on the preservation of left ventricular function after myocardial infarction and optimal diagnostic algorithm with imaging techniques in early diagnosis of ischemic heart disease.
