Overview

Bernhard Meier is affiliated with the University Hospital of Bern in Switzerland. Their research primarily spans the field of Medicine, with a particular focus on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Epidemiology, Surgery, and Neurology. The major topics covered in their work include Cardiovascular and Diving-Related Complications, Atrial Fibrillation Management and Outcomes, Cardiac Arrhythmias and Treatments, Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostics, Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disturbances, Acute Ischemic Stroke Management, and Cardiac Tumors and Thrombi.

They have contributed to a range of scientific papers, notable examples include:

  • EHRA/EAPCI expert consensus statement on catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion - an update, 2020, EuroIntervention
  • Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects in an Analysis of Pooled Individual Patient Data From Randomized Trials of Device Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale After Stroke, 2021, JAMA
  • Proposal for Updated Nomenclature and Classification of Potential Causative Mechanism in Patent Foramen Ovale-Associated Stroke, 2020, JAMA Neurology
  • Device-Related Thrombus After Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Data on Thrombus Characteristics, Treatment Strategies, and Clinical Outcomes From the EUROC-DRT-Registry, 2021, Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions
  • Pooled Analysis of PFO Occluder Device Trials in Patients With PFO and Migraine, 2021, Journal of the American College of Cardiology

Bernhard Meier regularly collaborates with several coauthors, including Fabian Nietlispach, Heinrich P. Mattle, Steffen Gloekler, Stephan Windecker, and David M. Kent. These frequent collaborators have contributed to advancing research in related cardiovascular and neurological fields.

Their scientific output is published mainly in journals such as EuroIntervention, Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, JAMA Neurology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and Stroke. These venues reflect their engagement with both interventional cardiology and neurological aspects of cardiovascular diseases.

The research topics Meier covers demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on complex cardiovascular issues including atrial fibrillation and its outcomes, cardiac arrhythmias, diagnostic imaging, and complications related to stroke and thrombotic events. Their work also involves studies into the treatment methods for patent foramen ovale and device closure technologies.

Overall, Bernhard Meier's research career comprises an integration of clinical investigation, interventional techniques, and epidemiological analysis within cardiovascular medicine and its neurological consequences.
