About the department
The Department of Cardiology and Internal Medicine at the Preventicum Diagnostic Сlinic Essen provides the full range of medical services for the patients suffering from cardiovascular and internal diseases. The department has an excellent diagnostic base, thanks to which the doctors can carry out comprehensive laboratory and instrumental examinations. After a thorough study of the patient's medical history and his diagnostic data, the attending physician prescribes an effective treatment regimen developed taking into account the individual needs and wishes of the patient. The cardiologists also offer special diagnostic programs for the comprehensive assessment of the state of the cardiovascular system and the risks of developing cardiac pathology in the future. The therapeutic options of the medical facility include both drug therapy and catheter-based interventions. The department's doctors are guided in their work by modern clinical protocols and recommendations of professional societies, so the quality of medical care is at the highest level.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Dietrich Baumgart. The professor has an excellent reputation in the areas of his specialization, as well as unique experience and professional skills acquired during his work in the best university hospitals in Germany, including the University Hospital Essen and the University Hospital Cologne.
The department's medical team is rightfully proud of the excellent treatment success rates in the field of cardiology. Prior to any therapeutic measures, the whole range of diagnostic tests is appointed to the patient. The basic methods of cardiac diagnostics are electrocardiography, echocardiography, 24-hour blood pressure measurement and laboratory tests. If the results of these examinations do not allow the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis, additional diagnostic procedures may be required: CT, MRI, cardiac catheterization for diagnostic purposes, pulmonary function testing, etc. After studying all the data, the patient receives a diagnosis and an optimal treatment regimen. In most cases, the department's cardiologists manage to normalize the work of the heart with the help of modern drugs. In the case of atherosclerosis of coronary arteries or their obstruction, the department's specialists often recommend the patients to undergo sparing interventional catheter procedures – balloon dilation and stent implantation.
In the field of internal medicine, the doctors provide treatment to the patients with digestive disorders, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders, diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract, as well as various general infectious diseases. To make a diagnosis, the doctors usually combine laboratory tests with instrumental diagnostics. The treatment of internal diseases is based on the intake of medications, intravenous injection of drugs (infusion therapy) and diet therapy.
The department's specialists are convinced that only an individual approach to each patient and his clinical case can guarantee a successful treatment outcome. In addition, the doctors of the medical facility recommend the patients to undergo regular check-ups in order to prevent serious diseases or to detect them at early stages, which significantly increases the chances of a complete cure.

About hospital
The Preventicum Diagnostic Clinic Essen is an advanced medical center oriented on providing high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic services. The primary focus of the clinic is comprehensive diagnostics, including preventive examinations (check-ups). The clinic presents such medical fields as internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, radiology, nephrology, urology, angiology and endocrinology.
The key focus of both doctors and nursing staff working in the clinic is the patient with his individual needs and wishes, so the specialists devote enough time to personal consultations, planning diagnostic examinations and treatment. The long and unique experience of the clinic's medical team allows detecting pathologies of any severity, including at the very early stages, prior to the onset of symptoms.
The clinic can boast of state-of-the-art medical equipment, including ultrasound and X-ray devices, magnetic resonance and computed tomography systems, systems for electrocardiography and echocardiography, endoscopic equipment for colonoscopy, gastroscopy and proctoscopy. The presence of in-house modern laboratories in the medical complex allows the doctors to carry out the full range of laboratory tests.
The service range of the clinic includes not only diagnostics. If the diagnostic examination reveals a certain pathology in a patient, the highly specialized doctors then develop effective treatment programs that allow the patient to restore health in the shortest possible time. It should be noted that the clinic cooperates closely with other medical facilities in the region, and therefore, in complex clinical cases, the specialists from partner clinics are involved in the therapeutic process.
