About the department
The Department of Angiology and Cardiology at the DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden provides the full range of medical services in these areas. The department's doctors focus on the patients with diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels, as well as on the patients suffering from pathologies of the cardiovascular system. In the field of cardiology, key attention is paid to the comprehensive diagnostics of the heart and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The team of angiologists specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of atherosclerosis, obliterating endarteritis, vasculitides, microcirculatory disorders, thrombosis, varicose veins and other vascular diseases. The specialists working in the department have at their disposal state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment that allows them to detect the slightest pathological changes and elaborate the most effective treatment regimen based on the patient's individual clinical indications. In addition, the department provides medical check-ups for the patients with pacemakers and defibrillators. A highly qualified team of professional doctors provides medical care in accordance with the latest clinical protocols. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Martina Lukas.
The department's team of doctors conducts diagnostics and conservative treatment of various vascular diseases. In this medical field, special attention is given to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, which most often affects the vessels of the lower extremities. The doctors working in the department conduct diagnostic examinations and consultations, during which they recommend that patients give preference to a healthy diet and regularly do dosed physical exercises. If the patient is diagnosed with pathology, the doctor elaborates for him an individual treatment plan. The basis of atherosclerosis therapy is the intake of a specially selected complex of drugs. The patient also has to correct the diet and change from a sedentary lifestyle to a more active one. The last-line treatment is surgery, but it is performed only if conservative methods are ineffective.
The department often admits patients with deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. The disease is characterized by the formation of blood clots (thrombi) in the lumen of the deep veins of the lower extremities. The formation of blood clots disrupts normal blood flow, which leads to a deficiency of oxygen and nutrients in the tissues of the lower extremities. Without timely treatment, the disease can lead to severe and irreversible complications. To make a diagnosis, the department's doctors usually perform a clinical examination and a duplex ultrasound scanning. If confirmed, the angiologists of the department apply all the necessary therapeutic measures to slow down the progression of the pathological process. The therapeutic options include drug treatment with anticoagulants (drugs that reduce blood clotting) and compression therapy.
The specialists in the field of cardiology are responsible for the comprehensive diagnostics of the cardiovascular system. The department's diagnostic rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art devices for electrocardiography, echocardiography, duplex sonography of the neck vessels, Holter ECG monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring and other tests. The most common complaints include shortness of breath, palpitations, extrasystoles (a feeling of an interruption in the work of the heart), chest pain, fainting and dizziness. Whenever required, doctors from related specialties can be involved in the diagnostic process. After studying the diagnostic results, doctors make an accurate diagnosis and appoint an effective course of treatment. The department's experts specialise only in conservative treatment.

- Angiology

About hospital
The DKD HELIOS Clinic Wiesbaden has long made a name for itself in the international medical arena by introducing an optimal model of medical care, combining the use of the most advanced medical technologies, the experience of highly qualified doctors and impeccable quality of patient care. The medical facility first opened its doors to patients in 1970. The world famous Mayo Clinic Rochester in America served as a model for the design of the medical complex. Since the foundation of the clinic, the main direction of its activities has been comprehensive diagnostics of complex diseases integrated into an interdisciplinary treatment concept. Today, an integral part of clinical practice is also preventive diagnostics aimed at the early detection of pathological changes in the human body. In recent years, the clinic has been actively developing the direction of surgery, in which it has significantly succeeded. The clinic enjoys a reputation as one of the best medical facilities in Europe in the field of endocrine and colorectal surgery, as well as in hernia repair surgery.
The clinic has 24 specialized departments. Each of them offers a team of experienced doctors, whose main value is the patient's health. The work of all doctors of the medical facility is based on a single credo – "Treat not a disease, but a patient". According to this belief, the course of treatment should be as individual as possible, taking into account the patient's physical characteristics, lifestyle, diet, emotional state, etc.
The clinic's bed capacity consists of 138 inpatient beds and 60 beds in a day hospital. Many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The diagnostic and treatment rooms, like the operating rooms of the clinic, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure the observance of strict hygiene and safety standards. The advanced medical equipment allows detecting the slightest changes in the functioning of organs and their structure with impeccable accuracy, thanks to which doctors can diagnose complex pathologies at the very early stages. This greatly increases the chances of a successful cure.
The location of the clinic in Wiesbaden, known as one of the oldest thermal spas in Europe, is another pleasant advantage for the patients. Arriving at the clinic for a preventive diagnostic examination, one can improve his health in the healing thermal springs, as well as enjoy the sightseeing of historical monuments. The medical center is located in the immediate vicinity of the English style Spa Park founded in the distant 1852, so in the free time from medical procedures one can take a pleasant walk in the beautiful park.
