Professor Rosenfeldt is a cardiac surgeon who has focussed on researching the field of cellular metabolism and more recently the supportive role that complementary medicine can play in cardiac surgery and cardiology. This has focused on the role of coenzyme Q10, fish oils, and antioxidants together with mind-body medicine, music and meditation, stress reduction and physical exercise in the management of heart disease.

Protection of the heart against damage during cardiac surgery and transplantation has been a lifelong interest and one of which Prof. Rosenfeldt established an international reputation.
