Georg Nickenig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Nickenig (born April 11, 1964 in Mülheim-Kärlich ) is a German cardiologist and since 2005 Professor and Director of the Medical Clinic and Polyclinic II of the Bonn University Hospital and director of the Bonn Heart Center .

Life

Nickenig completed his Abitur in 1983 at the Görres-Gymnasium in Koblenz and studied human medicine at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn from 1983 to 1989 . He then spent two years as an intern at the Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery and the Medical Polyclinic of the University of Bonn. In 1991 he was in Bonn with an investigation for immunosuppression in the cytostatic therapy to Dr. med. PhD . From 1991 to 1995 Nickenig was an assistant doctor and research assistant at the Medical University Polyclinic in Bonn. During this time, he conducted research in 1993 and 1994 as part of a research grant from the German Research Foundation at the Emory University School of Medicine (Department of Cardiology / Pharmacology) in Atlanta , USA.

From 1996 to 2000 Nickenig was a research assistant at Clinic III for Internal Medicine at the University of Cologne . During this time Nickenig became a specialist in internal medicine (1998) and later a specialist in cardiology (2000). In 2000 he completed his habilitation in internal medicine / cardiology at the University of Cologne. In 2000, Nickenig became the managing senior physician at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Internal Medicine III (cardiology) and private lecturer at the Saarland University Hospital in Homburg , where he received an unscheduled professorship in 2004 .

In October 2005 Nickenig received a call to the Department of Internal Medicine (Cardiology, Angiology , Pneumology and Intensive Care Medicine) at the University of Bonn and was - Berndt Lüderitz below - director of the Department of Internal Medicine II at the University Hospital Bonn.

Together with the cardiac surgeon Hendrik Treede, Nickenig heads the heart center of the University Hospital Bonn , founded the International Center for Cardiovascular Interventions (ICCI) in 2011 and has been the spokesman for the "Transregional Collaborative Research Center 259 - Aortic Diseases" of the German Research Foundation since July 2019. He is also the scientific director of the Cardiosymposium Bonn.

Nickenig is married and has two children. He lives with his family in the Plittersdorf district of Bonn. He is a member of the AV Tuisconia Königsberg zu Bonn in the Cartell Association (CV) .

Research priorities

Georg Nickenig's medical work focuses on coronary heart disease, heart failure , arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia . The main research interests are the causes of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction .

In his experimental, clinical and scientific work he was able to show the central role of angiotensin II, AT1 receptor and oxidative stress in the development of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in various cell culture and animal experimental models and clinical studies.

Since 2015, Nickenig and his working groups have also been researching the fundamentals of aortic valve and aortic wall diseases such as B. aortic stenosis, aortic aneurysms and aortic dissection. In this area, Nickenig was able to prove that inflammatory processes are of great importance for the development of these diseases. In 2019 the special research area “Transregio 259 - Aortic Diseases” was approved, for which Nickenig acts as spokesman. The volume is 13 million euros in the first four years.

In the field of clinical research, Nickenig is considered a pioneer in the minimally invasive interventional treatment of heart valve defects such as B. Aortic valve stenosis treated by a transaortic valve replacement procedure (TAVI). Together with his research team, he is also a leader in the catheter-based treatment of mitral valve and tricuspid valve defects and in 2019 presented the world's largest study on this topic.

Nickenig's interventional interventions are regularly broadcast as live cases at international congresses.

In 2012, Nickenig implanted the former Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher with a new heart valve using a catheter-assisted procedure .

His scientific work is documented in more than 600 international publications.
