My name is Mohammad Kassar. I hold a MD and I am a PhD candidate in medicine, and I currently work as a condultant cardiologist. I am affiliated with Inselspital Bern. I focus on valvular heart disease, driven by a passion for solving complex problems and improving systems for better outcomes. My work emphasizes 3D echocardiography, interdisciplinary research, aiming to bridge gaps between theory and real-world implementation. What sets me apart is my ability to combine interventional and imaging skills with a strong commitment to research. This allows me to address challenges from a holistic perspective, creating solutions that are both effective and sustainable. I have several peer-reviewed publications, many as the first author, in leading journals. My research focuses on transcatheter interventions for mitral and tricuspid valve repair and cardiac imaging. I have presented my work at international conferences, including the ESC, on topics like mitral valve area reduction and the effects of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. My research has earned menumerous citations, and I have received prestigious grants, including the W. and L. Rutishauser Grant from the Swiss Heart Foundation and funding from the German Heart Foundation. My academic influence is further highlighted by membership in key professional organizations such as the German Cardiac Society, Swiss Cardiac Society, and European Society of Cardiology (ESC). My ongoing work contributes to advancements in cardiac interventions, combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge research I actively participated in the peer review process, evaluating 14 manuscripts for high-impact academic journals in the field of cardiology. My expertise in transcatheter interventions and cardiac imaging makes me a valuable reviewer, providing critical feedback to improve the quality of research in these areas. My personal and professional goals revolve around advancing the field of cardiology through clinical excellence and impactful research. I am committed to improving patient outcomes, particularly in the areas of structural heart disease, transcatheter interventions, and advanced cardiac imaging. My long-term research focuses on innovations in transcatheter valve repair, mitral and tricuspid valve interventions, and the development of echocardiographic techniques for better diagnosis and treatment planning. Professionally, I aim to contribute to the evolution of minimally invasive cardiac procedures, ensuring they become more accessible and effective for patients worldwide. I also strive to mentor the next generation of cardiologists and researchers, fostering a collaborative environment where clinical practice and research intersect. Ultimately, my goal is to lead advancements in cardiovascular interventions, shaping the future of cardiology while maintaining a strong commitment to patient-centered care. I bring a well-rounded set of professional skills and expertise to my work in cardiology. My active listening skills enable me to fully understand patients' concerns and team feedback, ensuring informed and patient-centered decisions. With strong communication skills, I effectively convey complex medical information to both patients and colleagues, fostering clear and collaborative discussions. My interpersonal skills allow me to build trust and rapport with patients, peers, and multidisciplinary teams, creating a positive working environment. In leadership roles, I demonstrate leadership and management skills, guiding clinical teams and projects with confidence and a focus on achieving the best outcomes. I also excel in mentoring, helping junior colleagues develop their skills and knowledge in cardiology. My problem-solving skills are key in navigating challenging clinical situations, allowing me to devise innovative solutions under pressure. Together, these skills ensure that I provide high-quality care, contribute to research, and lead effectively in the medical field. I enjoy staying active through outdoor activities such as hiking and running, which help me maintain physical and mental well-being. Additionally, I have a passion for reading medical literature and exploring new advancements in cardiology to stay informed and inspired.
