  • Prognostic markers of all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation: data from the prospective long-term registry of the German Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) (2021, EP Europace)

Steinbeck has collaborated frequently with other researchers in the field, including:

  • Lars Eckardt
  • Stephan Willems
  • Ursula Ravens
  • Paulus Kirchhof
