  • Clinical practice guidelines implementation

Maisch's publication record shows a focus on cardiac inflammation, myocarditis, and related infectious and immune processes. Among their recent papers are:

  • 2025 ESC Guidelines for the management of myocarditis and pericarditis, 2025, European Heart Journal
  • Inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy, 2020, Herz
  • Management perspectives from the 2019 Wuhan international workshop on fulminant myocarditis, 2020, International Journal of Cardiology
  • SARS-CoV-2 as potential cause of cardiac inflammation and heart failure. Is it the virus, hyperinflammation, or MODS?, 2020, Herz
  • COVID-19-What we know and what we need to know: There are more questions than answers, 2020, Herz

They have published extensively in the journal Herz, contributing at least 17 papers, and also have publications in the European Heart Journal and International Journal of Cardiology.
