研究室紹介
Professor Chan Joo Lee's research lab specializes in cardiovascular epidemiology and preventive cardiology, with a strong focus on hypertension management, lipid disorders, and the socioeconomic impact of heart failure in aging populations. The lab investigates clinical determinants of blood pressure control, psychosocial factors influencing treatment adherence, and the genetic underpinnings of extreme lipid phenotypes, particularly in East Asian populations. Their work bridges population-level health data with translational insights, contributing to clinical guidelines and regulatory decisions, such as the approval of Reti-CVD in Korea.

15The study's results underscore the growing socioeconomic burden of HF in Korea, driven by an aging population and increasing HF prevalence.
Background Extracellular fluid ( ECF ) excess is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity in patients undergoing dialysis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ECF status, which is affected by renal function, and coronary artery calcification ( CAC ), which is a marker of cardiovascular disease, in patients with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ). Methods and Results A total of 1741 patients at all stages of pre‐dialysis CKD from the prospective observational cohort o
In conclusion, lifestyle modification emphasizing both diet and exercise was effective for lowering BP and should be favored over diet-only modifications.
OBJECTIVE: The potential of using retinal images as a biomarker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has gained significant attention, but regulatory approval of such artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms is lacking. In this regulated pivotal trial, we validated the efficacy of Reti-CVD, an AI-Software as a Medical Device (AI-SaMD), that utilizes retinal images to stratify CVD risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we used data from the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases
Evidence about the benefits of treating uncomplicated, low-risk, stage-1 hypertension is lacking. The study aimed to investigate the association between mean blood pressure (BP) and clinical outcomes, and to determine optimal BPs in treated, low-risk, stage-1 hypertension. From the National Health Insurance Service Health Examination Database, patients with stage-1 hypertension between 2005 and 2006 were selected. They had a systolic BP of 140 to 159 mm Hg or diastolic BP of 90 to 99 mm Hg. Pati
The hole-clinching process is one of the mechanical methods for joining dissimilar materials, such as aluminum alloy with advanced high-strength steel, hot-pressed steel, and carbon fiber reinforced plastics, employing forming technology-based methods. In joint design, the analysis of the failure-mode dependent joint strength is a crucial step in achieving structural performance for practical applications. In this study, the influence of the geometrical interlocking parameters on the failure-mod
We sought to investigate the psychosocial characteristics of patients with uncontrolled hypertension and examine factors that influence blood pressure (BP) control. A total of 1011 patients with uncontrolled hypertension were enrolled in 13 tertiary hospitals. Uncontrolled hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥90 mm Hg despite on antihypertensive therapy. Socio-demographics, anthropometrics, behavioral risk factors, medication pattern, adherence, and measures of hea
