Wolfgang Koenig

Wolfgang Koenig (* 18. Dezember 1949 in Neuenbürg) ist ein deutscher Internist, Kardiologe und Universitätsprofessor. Er war bis 2015 als Oberarzt der Abteilung Innere Medizin II - Kardiologie, Angiologie, Pneumologie, Sport- und Rehabilitationsmedizin der Medizinischen Klinik der Universität Ulm tätig. Koenig ist bekannt für seine Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Evaluation neuer Biomarker für kardiometabolische Erkrankungen, Arbeiten zur Genetik kardiometabolistischer Erkrankungen sowie zu Themen der Inflammation, Hämostase und Atherosklerose.

Leben

Koenig studierte von 1969-75 Medizin an der LMU München. 1976 legte er ebenfalls in München das amerikanische Staatsexamen ab (ECFMG). 1976-1977 leistete er seine Zeit als Medizinalassistent am Städtischen Krankenhauses München-Schwabing ab, war danach bis 1980 als Assistenzarzt an der Klinik Höhenried für Herz- und Kreislaufkrankheiten der LVA Oberbayern in Bernried tätig, bevor er 1980 an der Universität Heidelberg promoviert wurde. Bis 1983 arbeitete er als wissenschaftlicher Assistent an verschiedenen Instituten und war von 1983-86 Leiter des MONICA-Herzinfarktregisters der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) am Zentralklinikum Augsburg. 1986 wechselte Koenig an die Medizinische Klinik der Universität Ulm. Dort wurde er 1989 Arzt für Innere Medizin und führte ab 1992 die Zusatzbezeichnung Kardiologie. Im selben Jahr habilitierte er sich mit einer Arbeit zu Blutrheologie: Zusammenhänge mit kardiovaskulären Risikofaktoren und der koronaren Herzkrankheit. 1998 wurde er zum außerplanmäßigen Professor ernannt und erlangte 2005 die Zusatzbezeichnung Internistische Intensivmedizin. 1995-2000 war Koenig Geschäftsführender Oberarzt der Medizinischen Klinik und Leiter der Notaufnahme, 2003-04 Leiter der Intensivstation und 2004-05 Leiter der Herzkatheterlabore. Koenig war bis Ende März 2015 Oberarzt der Abt. Innere Medizin II - Kardiologie der Medizinischen Universitätsklinik Ulm und leitete das dortige Biomarkerlabor sowie das „Klinische Studienzentrum“. Zum 1. April 2015 wechselte er an das Deutsche Herzzentrum München der Technischen Universität München, wo er vorwiegend wissenschaftlich tätig ist z.B. in Leitungsgremien großer internationaler klinischer Studien.

Wissenschaftlicher Beitrag

Koenig leistete Langjährige Forschungstätigkeit im Bereich der klinischen Epidemiologie kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen (u.a. Aufbau des MONICA Augsburg Infarktregisters der WHO. Er lieferte grundlegende Beiträge zur Inflammationshypothese der Atherosklerose[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] und zur Bedeutung hämostaseologischer Faktoren für die Atherogenese.[13][14] sowie zur Genetik intermediärer Phänotypen der Atherosklerose.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]

Er war Mitglied des Leitungsgremiums zahlreicher internationaler klinischer Studien zu innovativen kardiometabolisch aktiven Substanzen.[27][28][29][30]
