About the department
The Department of Cardiology and Pulmonology at the Hospital Schwabing Munich offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for the patients suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system and lungs. The department's specialists have expert knowledge and rich experience in providing medical care to the patients with pathologies of any severity, ranging from congenital heart diseases, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, arterial hypertension to bronchial asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), benign and malignant lung tumors. The department has an in-house Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. The doctors working here perform sparing heart interventions that allow the patient to avoid invasive cardiac surgery. In addition, the department offers the services of the Chest Pain Unit certified by the German Cardiac Society. The experienced cardiologists who have all the necessary technical resources to provide effective care for acute coronary syndrome take care of the patients here. The department annually diagnoses and treats more than 4,000 patients, while each of them receives medical care of the highest European level. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ellen Hoffmann.
The first stage of treatment is always comprehensive diagnostics, which allows the doctor to assess the patient's health, establish an accurate diagnosis and select the optimal treatment regimen, which will help effectively eliminate the disease and provide the patient with a decent quality of life. When the department admits a patient with complaints of abnormalities in the cardiovascular system, the doctors conduct laboratory tests, cardiovascular ultrasound scanning, electrocardiography, echocardiography and Holter monitoring. The patients with suspected cardiac pathology are also often appointed diagnostic catheterization procedures, fractional flow reserve measurement, cardiac CT and MRI scans. The set of diagnostic studies is individually determined by the attending physician. After receiving the diagnostic data, the department's specialists begin to elaborate a treatment regimen. Whenever possible, the cardiologists prefer to use drug therapy only. However, they often have to resort to interventional catheter procedures, for which the department operates the specialized Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. The department's medical team also performs hybrid cardiac interventions in an in-house hybrid operating room. Such operations combine endovascular techniques with classic open surgery. The most demanded heart catheter interventions include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, stent implantation, rotational coronary angiography, balloon dilatation for aortic valve stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, annuloplasty for mitral valve pathologies, interventional closure of patent foramen ovale and other therapeutic procedures. When performing the interventional manipulations, the department's cardiologists strictly adhere to the current clinical protocols, which almost eliminates risks to the patient's health. In addition, the specialists of the medical facility have performed thousands of successful catheter interventions of varying complexity, so the effectiveness of treatment is at the highest level.
The department is also distinguished by its special competence in the diagnostics and treatment of lung diseases. The department's pulmonologists are focused on the patients suffering from chronic and inflammatory airway diseases, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as benign and malignant lung tumors. To make an accurate diagnosis, the patient should undergo a comprehensive examination, which may include laboratory tests, bronchoscopy, pulmonary function tests, biopsy (endobronchial and transbronchial) in case of suspected lung cancer and other diagnostic studies. The department's pulmonologists are highly qualified in the diagnostics and treatment of lung cancer. Should the diagnosis be confirmed, the patient will require additional examinations to determine the type of tumor, its exact location, degree of spread and size. The treatment of lung cancer is based on the surgical resection of the malignancy, which is performed in collaboration with thoracic surgeons. The surgical procedure is supplemented by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy (provided in cooperation with specialized physicians). Great importance is attached to the follow-up care of the patient after completion of the basic treatment, as well as to the regular medical check-ups for the prevention of cancer recurrence.

- Heart diseases
- Heart failure
