Statements from
AFNET members

Prof. Daniel Steven: „In my opinion, the most important strength of the AFNET is represented by the national and international network it is embedded in. These networks are in multiple aspects important. The resources to responsibly perform the expensive multicenter studies are limited. Therefore, the investigational forces can be united in the AFNET research team and these important studies can be conducted in a straightforward manner. Furthermore, the outstanding experience of the study team leads to the best imaginable foundation for planning and executing these studies.“

Prof. Renate Schnabel: „The AFNET is a driving force in Germany and, in part, in Europe to help translate ground-breaking research ideas into stringent und collaborative research projects and clinical trials. We will see AFNET being involved in further advances in atrial fibrillation science with significant clinical impact“
