About the department

The Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Treatment of Congenital Heart Defects at the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW Bad Oeynhausen provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in these medical fields. The department specializes in treating congenital heart defects in children, adolescents, and adults. The medical facility has 36 beds to accommodate young patients. The department also has an Intensive Care Unit with 16 beds. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Stephan Schubert. He is a highly qualified specialist with a worldwide reputation who has saved many children's lives.

In addition to drug therapy, sparing catheter-based techniques are used here. In a specialized Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, more than 500 catheter-based interventions are performed annually in young patients with congenital heart defects. More than 4,000 children receive counseling and medical care on an outpatient basis. The department's cardiologists also treat about 1,000 adult patients with congenital heart disease each year. Parents and relatives are directly involved in the treatment process, since their support and assistance for young patients is one of the keys to the successful completion of therapy. The outstanding quality of medical care is confirmed by the ever-increasing number of patients who seek medical attention at the department. 

Thanks to the presence of advanced diagnostic equipment in the department, many congenital heart defects can be detected in a child even before birth, in the womb. The department's cardiologists use modern ultrasound technology called fetal echocardiography to detect congenital heart defects in the fetus. About 120 such examinations are carried out here every year, after which the expectant mother receives counseling and the necessary recommendations. The department's diagnostic options also include 3D ultrasound scans, echocardiography, heart MRI scans, and other tests.

The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory has state-of-the-art medical equipment adapted to the needs of the child's body. All types of sparing diagnostic and therapeutic catheter-based procedures are performed here, which are used in the treatment of complex heart defects. Catheter-based interventions are most often used for aortic stenosis and pulmonary artery stenosis, as well as for atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent foramen ovale, and atrial appendage defects. It should be noted that the high professionalism of the department's doctors allows them to perform sparing treatment on premature babies weighing up to 2000 grams. The department performs more than 500 catheter-based procedures on the heart every year. The department's specialists are highly professional in their field of competence and make every effort to provide the child with effective treatment and the opportunity to lead a full life.

Pediatric cardiologists at the medical facility also successfully cope with myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, and heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). As a rule, the specialists use various drug therapy regimens to treat the above-mentioned heart diseases.

The department's range of medical services includes:

  • Diagnostics and treatment of atrial septal defects
  • Diagnostics and treatment of ventricular septal defects
  • Diagnostics and treatment of tetralogy of Fallot
  • Diagnostics and treatment of cardiomyopathies
  • Diagnostics and treatment of heart valve stenosis
  • Diagnostics and treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
  • Diagnostics and treatment of patent foramen ovale (PFO)
  • Diagnostics and treatment of inflammatory heart disease
  • Diagnostics and treatment of heart arrhythmias
  • Stent implantation
  • Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction
  • Preoperative and postoperative intensive care
  • Other diagnostic and therapeutic services

About hospital

According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW Bad Oeynhausen ranks among the top German hospitals in the area of its specialization! 

The center is one of the leading medical facilities specializing in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus at the international level. About 37,000 patients are treated here every year, while approximately 14,700 of them receive inpatient medical care. The highly qualified specialists at the center perform about 6,400 heart surgeries and about 10,000 cardiac catheter-based examinations, as well as about 800 electrophysiological studies, and provide medical care to more than 1,000 patients with congenital heart defects annually. The doctors are justifiably proud of their unique clinical experience and successful treatment outcomes, which contribute to the excellent reputation of the medical center in Europe.

The center has been a university hospital at Ruhr University Bochum since 1989. The center's staff takes an active part in research activities and the training of medical students. The scientific knowledge that specialists receive in the in-house Clinical Research and Development Center is used to continuously improve treatment outcomes.

The high-tech infrastructure of the center deserves special attention. There are one pediatric and six adult cardiac catheterization laboratories, eight standard operating rooms, and one state-of-the-art hybrid operating room.

At the center of all the efforts of medical workers is a person with their own needs and personal experiences. The involvement of the patient's family and other close people in this process is an important part of the treatment. This concept has become the key to the hospital's success and recognition.

The center is recognized as one of the best in the European medical arena in the field of diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension (certification from the European Society of Hypertension), is included in the list of medical facilities of the German Diabetes Society, and is certified as the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center (EMAH certification).
