About the department
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of heart diseases!
The department offers the full range of modern diagnostic and conservative therapeutic techniques for patients with cardiovascular diseases. The department houses a General Cardiology Outpatient Clinic, high-tech Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Emergency Cardiac Care Unit. The medical facility is also certified as an Interdisciplinary Center for Heart Failure and a Center for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. All this creates excellent conditions for the provision of highly professional and effective medical care. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Zeiher.
To make an accurate diagnostics and develop an optimal treatment strategy, the department's cardiologists carry out modern diagnostic examinations. An important structural object of the department is the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. It offers all methods of invasive diagnostics of ischemic heart disease, pathologies of large blood vessels, myocardial diseases, heart valves, pulmonary circulatory disorders, etc. In addition, the doctors of the laboratory specialize in unique examinations, which are available only in the advanced medical centers in Europe, for example, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), intracoronary Doppler flow velocity and pressure measurements for the assessment of endothelial function, etc.
If necessary, doctors can perform medical invasive procedures, in particular, coronary artery interventions. An important focus of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory is the treatment of structural heart diseases, such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Also, the department's doctors have exceptional experience in the field of catheter treatment of aortic stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency (MitraClip technique, mitral valve annuloplasty).
Of particular interest is the diagnostics and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias (electrophysiology). In order to eliminate these disorders, the doctors use the very latest techniques, such as cardiac resynchronization therapy, implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators, event recorders, cardiac contractility modulation systems.
The department's angiologists specialize in the diagnostics and treatment of patients with vascular diseases. All methods of non-invasive and invasive diagnostics of vascular pathologies are available here. One of the priority clinical interests is the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
The service range of the department includes:
