The Department of Cardiology at the PAN Clinic Cologne provides the full range of medical services for the prevention, diagnostics and conservative treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

The department's medical team also pays attention to preventive diagnostic examinations, which allow doctors to timely detect the risks of developing cardiac pathology and effectively eliminate them.
