Katja Fiedler Holm

Katja Fiedler Holm serves as Senior Physician (Overlæge) at Aalborg University Hospital within the Faculty of Medicine's Department of Cardiology. Her clinical and research work focuses on cardiac electrophysiology, particularly atrial fibrillation management and device-based cardiac therapies.

Her research interests span multiple critical areas in contemporary cardiology including:

• Device-detected atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation strategies
• Implantable cardiac device optimization (pacemakers and ICDs)
• Stroke prevention in cardiac arrhythmia patients
• Cardioversion safety protocols for device patients

Dr. Holm's recent publications (2018-2024) demonstrate a strong focus on clinical trials examining device-based cardiac monitoring and therapeutic interventions. Her work frequently addresses practical clinical challenges in managing patients with implantable cardiac devices who develop atrial fibrillation, with particular attention to anticoagulation needs and electrical therapy safety.

Her research collaborations include major international trials such as NOAH-AFNET 6 and DANPACE II, indicating integration within prominent European cardiology research networks. Media coverage from 2020 suggests recognition among medical talents in her region.

Dr. Holm maintains active clinical responsibilities alongside research activities, as evidenced by her ongoing publication record through 2024. Her work bridges clinical cardiology practice with rigorous academic investigation, particularly in the realm of cardiac rhythm disorders and device therapy.
