Venous thromboembolic is the third leading cause of vascular death after stroke and myocardial infarction. Within this pathology, Dr. Javier Trujillo, a researcher at UCAM and head of the Department of Internal Medicine at the Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena, has positioned himself as a world expert thanks to his line of research into deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which are two common diseases with a high mortality rate.  

One of the reference search engines in the field of health sciences, 'Expertscape', has granted him a status that is only enjoyed by those whose scientific output is positioned in the top 1% of academics who publish on a specific topic. This platform classifies articles published in high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific journals on a particular topic from the last 10 years located in PubMed, which is the most important repertoire worldwide, maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Expertscape has officially announced the recognition of Dr. Trujillo as an expert, which positions him as an international reference in his field of work: venous thromboembolism. For the scientist, who is part of the Cátedra para el Estudio de la Enfermedad Tromboembólica (Chair for the Study of Thromboembolic Disease) at UCAM, this recognition is an "acknowledgement of the quality of the research carried out during my professional career". Javier Trujillo is head of the Department of Internal Medicine at the Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena and has been a lecturer at UCAM in the degrees of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy.
