From 1989 until 2024 he was professor and chair of the Institute for Pathophysiology at the University of Essen Medical School.
From 1989 until 2024 he was professor and chair of the Institute for Pathophysiology at the University of Essen Medical School.

He first reported that the coronary circulation is not maximally dilated during myocardial ischemia, but subject to active vasoconstriction through alpha-adrenergic effects of the sympathetic innervation.
He characterized in detail the hemodynamic, morphological, metabolic and molecular features of hibernating myocardium and of coronary microembolization.
In recent years, he analyzed the signal transduction of ischemic conditioning.
The translation of preclinical data to clinical practice is of particular importance to him, and he succeeded to translate remote ischemic conditioning to patients undergoing bypass surgery.
