We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Andreas Boehmer to the Heart International Editorial Board. Dr Boehmer is an Electrophysiology Fellow at St. Josefs-Hospital Wiesbaden in Germany, where he works within the Department of Cardiology and conducts research focused on interventional therapies for cardiac arrhythmias and the treatment of patients with tachycardiomyopathy.
Dr Boehmer’s clinical expertise encompasses arrhythmia management, atrial arrhythmias and the interplay between rhythm disturbances and heart failure — areas that are increasingly central to contemporary cardiology practice. He is an active member of the European Society of Cardiology, European Heart Rhythm Association, Heart Rhythm Society and German Cardiac Society, reflecting his commitment to both clinical excellence and professional engagement across the field.
At St. Josefs-Hospital, under the supervision of Professor Joachim Ehrlich, Dr Boehmer’s research includes being lead investigator in the ongoing POLAR-HF trial, which evaluates the efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation in patients with heart failure — a key emerging area in catheter-based rhythm control strategies.
Read a recent Q&A with Dr Boehmer on POLAR-HF and pulmonary vein isolation only for atrial fibrillation with heart failure, which was conducted as part of our coverage of ESC 2025.
We warmly welcome Dr Boehmer to the Heart International Editorial Board and anticipate the valuable insights and editorial contributions he will bring to touchCARDIO.com and the wider cardiovascular community.
