Overview

Ulrich Laufs is affiliated with Saarland University in Germany and has a significant research presence in the field of medicine, particularly focusing on cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. Their work spans diverse subfields including surgery, molecular biology, economics and econometrics, and endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism.

The primary research topics explored by Laufs cover lipoproteins and cardiovascular health, diabetes combined with cardiovascular risks and lipoproteins, health systems and related economic evaluations, cancer concerning lipids and metabolism, atrial fibrillation management and outcomes, cardiovascular function and risk factors, as well as heart failure treatment and management.

Laufs has authored numerous papers published in several respected academic journals. Some of the recent publications include:

  • Low-density lipoproteins cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: pathophysiological, genetic, and therapeutic insights: a consensus statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel (2020) in European Heart Journal
  • Hepatocyte pyroptosis and release of inflammasome particles induce stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis (2020) in Journal of Hepatology
  • Effects of surgical and FFP2/N95 face masks on cardiopulmonary exercise capacity (2020) in Clinical Research in Cardiology
  • Global perspective of familial hypercholesterolaemia: a cross-sectional study from the EAS Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC) (2021) in The Lancet
  • Treatment gaps in the implementation of LDL cholesterol control among high- and very high-risk patients in Europe between 2020 and 2021: the multinational observational SANTORINI study (2023) in The Lancet Regional Health - Europe

Frequent coauthors who have collaborated extensively with Laufs include Jes-Niels Boeckel, Julius L. Katzmann, Rolf Wachter, Andreas Hagendorff, and Alberico L. Catapano.

The researcher has contributed repeatedly to prominent publication venues such as European Heart Journal, Atherosclerosis, Clinical Research in Cardiology, Circulation, and ESC Heart Failure, reflecting a sustained focus on cardiovascular medicine topics.
