Professor Malte Kelm

The key expertise is in the field of interventional cardiology with focus on coronary artery disease, AMI and structural heart disease. The major research areas are regulation of coronary blood flow, ischemia-reperfusion injury, endothelial (dys)function, circulating NO pool and anemia. This research contributed to the body of evidence demonstrating that plasma and red blood cells store, transport and produce nitric oxide (NO) metabolites and intermediates, thus contributing to the regulation of blood flow and vascular tone in physiology and pathophysiology.
