About the department
The Department of Cardiology at the Hospital Harlaching Munich provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Huge clinical experience and advanced equipment allow the doctors to effectively treat cardiac pathologies of varying severity. The department includes two modern Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories designed for both diagnostic catheter procedures and interventional treatment of coronary heart disease. In addition, the department operates a Chest Pain Unit certified by the German Cardiac Society. The Chest Pain Unit admits patients with acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction around the clock. The department's cardiologists cooperate closely with cardiac surgeons at the Hospital Bogenhausen Munich. In addition, the doctors from related medical disciplines, including angiologists, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists and other specialists, are involved in the therapeutic process, if required. The department provides treatment to more than 2,700 patients every year. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Harald Kühl.
The department's cardiologists have advanced diagnostic equipment, which allows them to detect abnormalities in the heart functioning, make an accurate diagnosis and select the optimal treatment regimen for each patient. The department carries out such diagnostic tests as electrocardiography, 3D cardiac ultrasound, cardiac CT and MRI, coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, fractional flow reserve measurement, myocardial scintigraphy. The department's specialists also attach great importance to preventive examinations, which can detect changes in the functioning of the cardiovascular system at initial stages and prevent the development of life-threatening complications, for example, myocardial infarction or heart failure.
The department's cardiologists often admit patients with suspected coronary diseases, which significantly increase the risk of myocardial infarction. To make an accurate diagnosis, the patient undergoes a set of diagnostic tests – both imaging and interventional ones. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the department's specialists offer patients three effective catheter-assisted treatment methods. The first option involves balloon dilation to dilate the coronary artery lumen. The second treatment option is stent implantation, which allows the artery to dilate and thus ensures normal blood flow to the heart. The department's medical team uses drug-eluting stents and bioresorbable (self-dissolving) stents in their clinical practice, which are an innovation in modern cardiology. The last-line treatment for severe coronary artery disease is rotablation.
The treatment of structural heart disease is also one of the priorities of the department's doctors. The most common diseases in this area include congenital and acquired heart valve defects, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale and others. The diagnostics of structural cardiac pathologies involves the use of echocardiography, including 2D and 3D echocardiography, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, stress echocardiography, CT, MRI and myocardial scintigraphy. In some cases, catheter-assisted diagnostics can also be conducted. If the department's specialists confirm any of the above mentioned pathologies in a patient, they start developing an optimal treatment regimen. Previously, the only effective treatment for structural heart disease was open surgery, which required thoracotomy and the use of a heart-lung machine. Today, such pathologies are successfully eliminated using interventional catheter-assisted techniques. For example, the department's cardiologists have extensive experience in the field of balloon valvuloplasty for the correction of aortic and mitral valve defects, MitraClip procedure for the treatment of mitral insufficiency, transcatheter aortic valve implantation and occluder placement to close atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale.
The department's service range is complemented by the treatment of heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). To confirm the diagnosis, the patient undergoes electrophysiological tests, 24-hour Holter monitoring or recording of the heart rate using an implantable loop recorder. The most effective type of treatment is determined depending on the type of arrhythmia, overall health of the patient, his age and other factors. The department's therapeutic options include the implantation of single- and dual-chamber pacemakers, defibrillators, catheter ablation, as well as the implantation of triple-chamber systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
