- Prof. Dr. med. Christian A. Schneider studied medicine at the University of Frankfurt, where he received his doctorate on the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in 1989.
- After a research stay as a scholarship holder of the Boehringer Ingelheim grant for basic research in Houston Texas, USA, since 1990, he has been working at the Heart Center of the University of Cologne, Clinic III for Internal Medicine (Cardiology, Pulmonology, Angiology, Internal Intensive Care Medicine).

He is the author of numerous publications in the national and international medical press and a popular speaker and seminar leader.
- The focus of his work is the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis (for example, coronary heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease), heart failure, hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias. Two goals are pursued: improving the quality of life and improving the individual prognosis of patients.
- Improvement of the prognosis in patients with vascular diseases is achieved by an intensive risk factor modulating therapy intended to stop the process of atherosclerosis ("healing of atherosclerosis"). Another focus is integrative, personalized preventive medicine based on scientific data. This multidisciplinary approach allows developing personalized treatment concepts based on individual patient characteristics.
