Research Interests: Dr. Braunschweig’s work focuses on cardiology and cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac arrhythmias. He investigates therapeutic strategies for heart failure, including polypharmacy management and multimorbidity. His research also explores the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in addressing cardiac anxiety and symptom preoccupation in patients with arrhythmias. Additional areas include healthcare interventions for modifiable risk factors like alcohol use and outcomes of extracorporeal resuscitation (ECPR). His studies often involve large-scale registry analyses and collaborative projects with international societies such as the ESC (European Society of Cardiology).
