        About the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at Charite University Hospital Berlin

        According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases! 

        The department offers the full range of medical services for the diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The department conducts all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, functional diagnostics of the heart, diagnostics and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The department's angiologists carry out complex diagnostics using ultrasound examination and angiography, as well as the treatment of stenoses and vascular obstructions by means of balloon dilatation, stent implantation and lysis. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Karl Stangl.

        The department has a modern Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, which serves for all procedures of invasive diagnostics and interventional therapy for cardiovascular diseases. The priority focuses include the diagnostics and treatment of coronary artery disease, catheter therapy for valvular heart disease (for example, TAVI and MitraClip), interventional therapy for atrial septal defects and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Also, the department has an Emergency Cardiac Care Unit for the provision of emergency medical care for patients with acute thoracic pains, which in many cases are precursors to myocardial infarction.

        All the department's specialists have expert knowledge and regularly undergo advanced training courses in order to keep abreast of innovations in cardiology and angiology. The patients are treated both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department has all the technical and professional resources in order to achieve the most favorable treatment outcome.

        The service range of the department includes:
