Department of Cardiology, Pulmonology and Angiology
Specialized in: cardiology, pulmonology, angiology About the Department of Cardiology, Pulmonology and Angiology at University Hospital Duesseldorf
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology, Pulmonology and Angiology at the University Hospital Duesseldorf ranks among the top German departments specializing in cardiovascular diseases!
It provides an accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of all diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs, and respiratory tract. The highly qualified world-class specialists work with patients. Various functional and imaging examination techniques are available for the accurate diagnostics. Also, the department has state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Malte Kelm.
The department provides translational and experimental researches in order to develop new methods of diagnostics and treatment of cardiac pathology, which are introduced into the clinical practice. For example, in the treatment of сoronary artery disease, the very latest treatments of stable and unstable angina are used. For the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, the doctors have all modern methods of cardioprotection, various methods of maintaining cardiac function in cardiogenic shock, as well as intensive care measures.
The service range of the department includes:
- Interventional treatment methods of сoronary artery disease and myocardial infarction
- Diagnostics and treatment of structural heart diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart failure
- Diagnostics and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)
- Emergency and intensive care in acute clinical conditions
- Methods of general, interventional, and hybrid cardiac imaging
- Diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the lungs, respiratory tract
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Bronchial asthma (including severe forms of pathology)
- Lung cancer
- Malignant pleural mesothelioma
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Sarcoidosis
- Rare and complex lung diseases (for example, pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, or rheumatological diseases with lung lesions (collagenosis, vasculitis))
- Diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels
- Acute and chronic occlusive diseases of the peripheral arteries of the limbs and brain, as well as the arteries of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space
- Diabetic foot syndrome
- Arterial aneurysms
- Arteriovenous fistulas
- Vein thrombosis (with and without pulmonary embolism)
- Venous diseases
- Lymphatic vessel diseases
- Vasculitis
- Angiodysplasia
