About the department

According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at the University Hospital Giessen UKGM ranks among the top German medical facilities in its areas of specialization!

The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment for patients with acute and chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system. The department (in collaboration with the Department of Cardiac Surgery) is integrated into the University Center for Cardiovascular Medicine. Thus, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons cooperate closely. The department has special competence in the field of interventional coronary revascularization and other cardiac interventions, electrophysiology, non-invasive tomography and cardiac MRI. Medical care is provided in accordance with relevant recommendations of the professional national and international societies. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Christian Hamm.

The department has an Intensive Care Unit, a Day Hospital, specialized Outpatient Clinics, as well as the Section of Functional Diagnostics and 3 modern Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, which provide the best options for patient care at the highest professional level. The department performs more than 4,000 catheter interventions every year.

An important field of the department's ​​clinical practice is the implantation and maintenance of event recorders, pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac contractility modulation devices (CCM/Optimizer®), as well as baroreceptor activation devices. The interventions are carried out in one of the modern cardiac catheterization laboratories or in a hybrid operating room. The department implants devices of all manufacturers, depending on the patient’s needs.

In the field of angiology, the department provides the diagnostics, conservative and interventional therapy, rehabilitation and prevention of diseases of the arteries, veins and lymph nodes. To make an accurate diagnosis, the department applies such modern diagnostic examinations as Doppler ultrasonography of the carotid arteries, kidney arteries, duplex ultrasonography of the peripheral arteries, veins of the lower limbs, capillary microscopy, oscillography, occlusal plethysmography, venous occlusion plethysmography. Of particular interest in this field is the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease of the lower limbs, cerebrovascular disorders and venous thrombosis.

The department's spectrum of medical services includes:

  • Outpatient medical care
    • Diagnostics and treatment of heart failure
    • Diagnostics and treatment of refractory hypertension
    • Diagnostics and treatment of heart valve defects
    • Cardiological diagnostics of athletes (for the assessment of the state of cardiovascular system and detection of risk factors)
