Basel, Basel, Switzerland
I am an attending interventional cardiac electrophysiologist at the University Heart Center Basel and Privatdozent at the University of Basel, with a clinical focus on the full spectrum of complex catheter ablation and cardiac device therapy. My procedural expertise spans atrial and ventricular ablations — including Vein of Marshall ethanol ablation, cardioneuroablation, and endocardial HOCM ablation — as well as all available ablation modalities (RF, PFA, cryoablation). In device therapy, I specialize in physiological pacing with Conduction System Pacing. I trained for two years at LIRYC Bordeaux under Prof. Haïssaguerre and Prof. Jaïs, where I developed my specialization in advanced electrophysiology. My research program centers on three interconnected themes: the role of inflammation in arrhythmia, the heart-brain interaction in atrial fibrillation, and heart failure prediction and prevention in AF patients. I lead the SNF Ambizione-funded COLECTRO-AF trial (NCT05890664) — a randomized placebo-controlled multicenter study of colchicin for AF recurrence prevention — and serve as local Principal Investigator for several international randomized trials.
