DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The applicant; Udo Hoffmann MD MPH is a clinically active staff radiologist in the Division of Cardiac Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. Over the last 10 years Dr. Hoffmann's research has focused on the feasibility, accuracy, and clinical utility of advanced cardiovascular imaging, specifically the role of cardiac CT in ischemic heart disease. Dr. Hoffmann's prior mentoring experience, his publication and funding record together with his current and planned research support in "Cardiovascular Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease" demonstrate his commitment and passion for Patient Oriented Research and provide an excellent foundation to accomplish the goals and objectives of the K24 Award. The specific aims addressing the purpose of the K24 Award are: 1) To enable Dr. Hoffmann to dedicate 25% of his time to mentor junior clinical investigators based on already NIH funded projects in "Cardiovascular Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease"; 2) To mentor junior clinical investigators from the T-32 program and the pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty in Cardiology and Radiology with the goal to develop them into clinical researchers who can successfully compete for peer reviewed grants; and 3) To enable Dr. Hoffmann to further establish a patient orientated research program that combines innovative translational, clinical, and outcomes research in cardiovascular imaging and that provides an ideal environment to develop future leaders in clinical research. Dr. Hoffmann's role as the Director of the Cardiac MR CT PET Program, a clinical research program in cardiovascular imaging supported by the Division of Cardiology and the Department of Radiology and Dr. Hoffmann's responsibilities as the Co-director of a T32 training grant in cardiovascular imaging, in addition to the strong commitment he received from the leadership of both Cardiology and Radiology provide an environment that is ideal to successfully mentor junior clinical investigators and fulfill the purpose of the K24 Award. The specific research aims of this grant stem from a significant body of work accomplished over the past few years and are all based on on-going NIH funded projects, except Aim 4 which is new research specifically supported by this grant: 1) Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease - Association with Risk factors and Clinical Outcomes in the Framingham Heart Study, 2) Comparing Competing Diagnostic Strategies to Triage Patients with Acute Chest Pain in the ED - A Randomized Diagnostic Multicenter Trial with the major goal to determine whether cardiac CT is more efficient in the management of patients with acute chest pain than standard of care, 3) Comparing Competing Diagnostic Strategies in the Patients with Stable Chest Pain - Diagnostic Efficiency of Cardiac CT vs. Standard of Care - The "Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain" (PROMISE), and 4) Combining high sensitivity troponin, a new improved biomarker assay, with cardiac CT to determine the etiology of myocardial injury and improve the efficacy of detecting acute coronary syndrome due to coronary artery disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：申请人； Udo Hoffmann MD MPH 是马萨诸塞州总医院心脏影像科的临床活跃放射科医生，也是哈佛医学院放射学副教授。在过去的 10 年里，Hoffmann 博士的研究重点是先进心血管成像的可行性、准确性和临床实用性，特别是心脏 CT 在缺血性心脏病中的作用。霍夫曼博士之前的指导经验、他的出版物和资助记录，以及他当前和计划对“缺血性心脏病的心血管成像”的研究支持，证明了他对以患者为导向的研究的承诺和热情，并为实现以下目标奠定了良好的基础： K24奖。 K24 奖的具体目标是： 1) 使 Hoffmann 博士能够投入 25% 的时间来指导基于 NIH 资助的“缺血性心脏病的心血管成像”项目的初级临床研究人员； 2) 指导来自 T-32 项目的初级临床研究人员以及心脏病学和放射学领域的住院医师、研究员和初级教员库，目标是将他们培养成能够成功竞争同行评审资助的临床研究人员； 3) 使霍夫曼博士能够进一步建立一个以患者为导向的研究计划，该计划将心血管成像领域的创新转化、临床和结果研究结合起来，并为培养未来临床研究的领导者提供理想的环境。霍夫曼博士担任心脏 MR CT PET 项目主任，这是一个由心脏病科和放射科支持的心血管成像临床研究项目，霍夫曼博士担任心血管 T32 培训补助金联合主任除了心脏病学和放射学领导层的坚定承诺之外，他还提供了一个成功指导初级临床研究人员并实现 K24 奖目的的理想环境。该拨款的具体研究目标源于过去几年中完成的大量工作，并且全部基于正在进行的 NIH 资助项目，除了目标 4，这是该拨款特别支持的新研究：1）亚临床心血管疾病- 弗雷明汉心脏研究中危险因素和临床结果的关联，2) 比较急诊室急性胸痛患者的竞争性诊断策略 - 随机诊断多中心试验的主要目标是确定心脏 CT 在治疗急性胸痛患者方面是否比标准护理更有效，3) 比较稳定胸痛患者的竞争诊断策略 - 心脏 CT 与标准护理的诊断效率护理 - “评估胸痛的前瞻性多中心影像研究”(PROMISE)，以及 4) 将高灵敏度肌钙蛋白（一种新的改进的生物标志物检测）与心脏 CT 相结合，确定心肌损伤的病因并提高检测冠状动脉疾病引起的急性冠状动脉综合征的功效。
