Dr. Baravan Al-Kassou is an interventional cardiologist and clinical researcher at the Heart Center of the University Hospital Bonn, Germany. His research focuses on structural heart interventions, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. His efforts aim to optimize risk stratification and enhance procedural safety. Additionally, his research addresses the optimal treatment options and timing for patients with multiple native valvular heart diseases. Furthermore, Dr. Al-Kassou is actively engaged in investigating the complex genetic architecture underlying aortic valve diseases, including aortic stenosis. He serves as a Project Leader of GUARD (Genes Underlying Aortic Valve Disease), a project funded by the German Research Foundation. Through this initiative, Dr. Al-Kassou leads efforts to elucidate the genetic risk factors associated with the development of aortic diseases.
