Overview

Wolfgang Härtig is affiliated with Leipzig University in Germany and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, with a primary focus on cardiology, hematology, and internal medicine. Their research spans a variety of subfields including cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, internal medicine, hematology, surgery, and physiology.

The scientist's recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on blood coagulation, thrombosis mechanisms, and laboratory diagnostics in hematologic conditions. Notable papers include:

  • Direct oral anticoagulant plasma levels and thrombin generation on ST Genesia system, 2020, Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • An Update on Laboratory Diagnostics in Haemophilia A and B, 2022, Hämostaseologie
  • Evaluation of Biomarkers for the Prediction of Venous Thromboembolism in Ambulatory Cancer Patients, 2020, Oncology Research and Treatment
  • Inhibition of thrombin generation 12 hours after intake of direct oral anticoagulants, 2020, Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • Plasma levels do not predict thrombin generation in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants, 2021, International Journal of Laboratory Hematology

Wolfgang Härtig's work covers several main topics, notably:

  • Venous thromboembolism diagnosis and management
  • Atrial fibrillation management and outcomes
  • Blood coagulation and thrombosis mechanisms
  • Hemophilia treatment and research
  • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis
  • Cardiac arrhythmias and treatments
  • Clinical laboratory practices and quality control

The scientist frequently publishes in the following venues:

  • Hämostaseologie
  • Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • International Journal of Laboratory Hematology
  • Thrombosis Research
  • Oncology Research and Treatment

Collaborations have been central to Wolfgang Härtig's research, with frequent coauthors including:

  • Sirak Petros
  • A. Siegemund
  • Christian Pfrepper
  • Michael Metze
  • Hagen Bönigk

These collaborations complement Härtig's focus on clinical and laboratory hematology, contributing to a substantial body of work addressing mechanisms and diagnostics of thrombosis and related conditions. The intersection of clinical application and laboratory research is a consistent theme throughout the scientist's outputs.
