Larissa Fabritz

Larissa Fabritz is a Professor at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. Her research focuses on atrial fibrillation, cardiac electrophysiology, and cardiovascular genetics, with significant contributions to understanding ion channel dysfunction, mitochondrial metabolism in arrhythmias, and biomarker development for cardiometabolic risk.

• Current projects include the EAST-AFNET 4 trial for early rhythm control and APRAISE-AS for remote monitoring in aortic stenosis.
• Her work bridges basic science (e.g., Popeye-domain proteins and Nav1.5 modulation) and clinical implementation of digital health tools.

Recent articles highlight genetic risk stratification, atrial conduction abnormalities, and cardiac load effects in arrhythmia. She collaborates internationally in consensus conferences on AF management and contributes to guidelines for cardiac electrophysiology models.
