Overview

Joachim Schofer is affiliated with Universität Hamburg in Germany and has focused a significant portion of their research on the field of Medicine, particularly within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Their expertise spans several subfields including Epidemiology, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Surgery, and Neurology. The primary topics of Schofer's work revolve around Cardiac Valve Diseases and Treatments, Infective Endocarditis Diagnosis and Management, and Cardiovascular Function and Risk Factors. Additional areas include Aortic Disease and Treatment Approaches, Cardiac pacing and defibrillation studies, Cardiac Structural Anomalies and Repair, as well as Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Treatments.

Schofer has published extensively, contributing to 144 works in total. The frequent publication venues in which they appear include:

  • JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
  • European Heart Journal
  • Journal of the American College of Cardiology
  • EuroIntervention
  • Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions

Some of the recent papers by Schofer include:

  • "Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling and Afterload Reserve in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair," 2022, Journal of the American College of Cardiology
  • "Long-term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation in failed bioprosthetic valves," 2020, European Heart Journal
  • "Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement After Surgical Repair or Replacement," 2020, Circulation
  • "TRI-SCORE and benefit of intervention in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation," 2023, European Heart Journal
  • "Outcomes of transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention by right ventricular function: a multicentre propensity-matched analysis," 2021, EuroIntervention

Frequent collaborators in Schofer's research include Azeem Latib, Maurizio Taramasso, Stephan Windecker, Rodrigo Estévez-Loureiro, and Francesco Maisano. These co-authors have been involved in multiple joint publications, indicating ongoing research partnerships.

Their main research topics align with the clinical and interventional cardiology domains, particularly focusing on various aspects of cardiac valve disease management and procedural outcomes. This includes studying the mechanics and therapeutic approaches to tricuspid, aortic, and mitral valve conditions as well as associated complications.
