We can now methodically apply this expertise to our institution in Lithuania to create academically grounded, long-term training programmes that are accessible to the global population,\u201d said Dr. Briedis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LSMU Centre of Excellence has become the ninth in the world, officially accredited by <em>Biosensors<\/em> as an international training centre for structural cardiac interventions. This programme&#8217;s first session was held in Kaunas on May 25\u201326. It was a two-day intense programme that comprised theoretical lectures, workshops, training with simulations of intervention procedures, expert discussions, and participation in transcatheter heart surgeries. According to Dr. Briedis, the Centre of Excellence, not only includes training, but also active involvement in the international research community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIncreasing engagement in international multi-centre research that evaluates the most cutting-edge structural cardiac intervention technologies, and their therapeutic advantages is one of our strategic objectives. These initiatives improve clinical practice quality and bolster the University\u2019s standing as a trustworthy global partner,\u201d emphasised Dr. K. Briedis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the Centre of Excellence is becoming a bridge between daily clinical practice and innovative cardiology science: it enables the development of evidence-based methodologies and contributes to the development of treatment guidelines on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cooperation with other Centres of Excellence in the world, the LSMU Department of Cardiology can not only participate, but also initiate international research programmes covering the assessment of clinical benefit and safety, new intervention methodologies, devices or implantation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prof.-Remigijus-Zaliunas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77933\" style=\"width:511px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prof.-Remigijus-Zaliunas.jpg 700w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prof.-Remigijus-Zaliunas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/Prof.-Remigijus-Zaliunas-300x200@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Prof. Habil.

Dr. Remigijus \u017dali\u016bnas stressed that the newly established sector of structural heart disease interventions is a significant and timely decision, responding to international trends in clinical cardiology development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInterventions for structural heart disease are among the most technologically advanced and rapidly expanding subspecialties of contemporary medicine. In addition to the age of patients, concurrent disorders, and increasingly complex clinical situations, the breadth of treatments is expanding rapidly. Specialised, globally functioning centres that prioritise clinical practice, information, and competence distribution are necessary for such advancement,\u201d the professor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the fact that our Centre has become one of only nine centres of excellence recognised by <em>Biosensors<\/em> worldwide testifies to the professional readiness of the Department of Cardiology of LSMU and the ability of the whole field of health sciences of the University to integrate into global medical improvement processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe take pride in the fact that our department&#8217;s contemporary transcatheter interventions draw colleagues from all over the world, fostering an academic leadership culture. We aspire to be a centre for professional education and methodological advancement in addition to treatment, actively supporting the development of global health systems. These collaborations raise our profile and produce a new generation of experts equipped to handle the most challenging clinical situations,\u201d said Prof.&nbsp; R. \u017dali\u016bnas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key component of the plan to guarantee the depoartment\u2019s long-term competitiveness on a global level, the professor claims, is the ongoing infrastructure development, the installation of new operating and hybrid spaces, staff qualification, and the development of international relations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/lsmu.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/LSMU-rektorius-prof.-Rimantas-Benetis-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"LSMU rektorius prof.

The establishment of one of only nine international centres of excellence in the world in the Department of Cardiology demonstrates that LSMU can become a focus for competences both in the region and throughout Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a centre is not only a space for training or professional exchange, but also an academic platform that brings together advanced practices, clinical competences and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe international partnership with medical technology companies allows us to move from individual initiatives to a coherent inter-institutional cooperation, where knowledge, research and practice are combined into unified, internationally operating programmes,\u201d said Prof. R.
