About the doctor

Dr. med. Sascha Rolf’s profile centers on clinical electrophysiology (Rhythmology) and advanced interventional arrhythmia care, especially catheter-based treatment of complex rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, alongside device-based therapies (e. g. , pacemakers/ICDs/CRT) within a tertiary cardiology setting. His academic work focuses on improving both the effectiveness and safety of atrial fibrillation ablation through technological and procedural innovation (habilitative thesis topic), reflecting a strong quality-and-outcomes orientation in high-volume invasive cardiology programs. Beyond clinical leadership, he contributes to the field through peer review for major cardiology/electrophysiology journals and through active participation in national and European societies (DGK/ESC/EHRA). His rhythmology expertise has been publicly recognized in Germany’s FOCUS physician ranking.
