Keynote lecture #1: Epidemiological conditions of cardiovascular diseases by Pontus Andell, MD, PhD
Pontus Andell, MD, PhD, associate professor at Karolinska Institutet and resident cardiologist at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, held the very first keynote lecture titled “Epidemiological conditions of cardiovascular diseases” during the General Assembly Meeting of TIMESPAN in Stockholm in May 2022.
Learn more about which cardiovascular diseases are most relevant in ADHD, the burden of cardiovascular diseases in general, and how we can use registry-based data to study CVDs in the keynote lecture.

World Brain Day 2023
Every year, 22nd July marks World Brain Day, an awareness day launched by World Federation of Neurology. Even though the 2023 theme is “Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind”, it is also important to talk about ADHD brains!
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition with traits and behaviours stemming from a different brain development in key stages of brain development.
Research has identified several potential disparities in the brains of individuals with ADHD compared to those without the condition. However, the precise significance of these variances remains uncertain.
https://www.additudemag.com/category/adhd-add/adhd-brain/ is a great resource for understanding the neuroscience behind ADHD.
TIMESPAN aims to improve not only the assessment of the risks involved for patients, but also to review and improve already existing treatments for patients with ADHD who also have cardiometabolic disease.

KICK-OFF TIMESPAN project
No April Fool’s joke, but the start of an exciting journey! Today, April 1st 2021, the 5 year-long EU-funded TIMESPAN project kicks off! 17 partners from academia, industry, and patient advocacy join forces in fostering improvements in clinical management of adults with #ADHD and co-occurring cardiometabolic disease.
Various national guidelines on cardiometabolic disease already highlight the importance of concurrent psychiatric disorders, but there is a lack of knowledge around ADHD. TIMESPAN strives to improve clinical outcomes, as well as Quality Of Life in adult ADHD patients with cardiometabolic disease.
