About the department
The Department of Cardiology and Internal Medicine at the Schoen Clinic Duesseldorf provides the full range of medical services in the areas of its specialization. The primary clinical focus is the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases, such as arrhythmias, valvular heart diseases, coronary heart diseases, and myocardial infarction. The department's cardiologists also provide medical care to adult patients with congenital and acquired heart defects. The department is recognized as one of the best in Germany for interventional catheter-based procedures to close the left atrial appendage with an occluder. Whenever required, vascular surgeons and angiology specialists may be involved in the treatment of patients with heart pathologies. The department also offers modern diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, acute and chronic lung diseases, infectious pathologies, thyroid diseases, kidney pathologies, and arterial hypertension. The medical facility houses a Dialysis Unit with four beds, where renal replacement therapy is provided to patients with acute and chronic kidney failure. Highly qualified doctors take care of the patients, who have at their disposal the necessary technical resources and effective therapeutic techniques to provide high-quality medical care. The Head Physician of the department is Dr. med. Christof Wald.
The department's cardiologists specialize in conservative and interventional catheter-based treatment of heart diseases. Doctors quite often admit patients with arrhythmias. The department has gained vast experience in treating patients with tachycardia (fast heart rate) and bradycardia (low heart rate). If arrhythmia is suspected, the department's specialists perform a comprehensive diagnostic examination, including electrocardiography, Holter monitoring, stress testing, electrophysiological studies, and cardiac CT and/or MRI. The obtained diagnostic data allow for the accurate determination of the type of arrhythmia and the prescription of effective treatment for the patient. Arrhythmias can be mostly brought under control with drug therapy. To treat tachycardia, the department also successfully performs modern catheter-based procedures such as electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation (radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation), and the placement of implantable cardioverter defibrillators or pacemakers. The optimal treatment is prescribed on an individual basis after a thorough analysis of the patient's clinical data.
The department's cardiologists also specialize in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), one of the most common heart pathologies worldwide. CAD involves the impairment of myocardial blood supply due to damage and narrowing of the coronary arteries. This pathology may lead to life-threatening conditions such as heart failure or myocardial infarction. The department's specialists have all the necessary capabilities to successfully deal with coronary artery disease. The first-line treatment involves conservative therapy with drugs, diet therapy, regular physical exercise, smoking cessation, and avoiding alcohol consumption. The second-line treatment is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, during which cardiologists use catheter-based techniques and a special balloon to widen the coronary artery and implant a special stent to prevent recurrent stenosis.
The department also houses a Chest Pain Unit, where specialists provide round-the-clock medical care for patients with acute coronary syndrome. All therapeutic options are available here, ranging from drug therapy to urgent catheter-based interventions and primary cardiac rehabilitation to maximize the patient's health and ability to work after a myocardial infarction.
The medical facility also admits patients with various internal diseases, with a special focus on treating pathologies of the digestive system. The department effectively treats stomach and duodenal ulcers, bowel polyps, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hepatitis, stomach tumors, colon tumors, pancreatitis, and other conditions. In most cases, patients with these diseases receive drug therapy with pills, infusions, and injections. The department also has an Endoscopy Unit, in which specialists perform diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures on the gastrointestinal organs. The most popular procedures are gastroscopy, colonoscopy, polypectomy, mucosectomy, balloon dilatation, argon plasma coagulation, and hemostasis.
