About the department
The Department of Congenital and Acquired Heart Defects, Heart Valve Diseases at the University Hospital Muenster offers the full range of diagnostics, outpatient and inpatient treatment of these diseases. The department became the first Center of Excellence in Germany in the field of its specialization and annually treats a large number of native patients and patients from other countries of the world. The department has a wide range of diagnostic options, as well as doctors have vast experience in catheter interventions. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Helmut Baumgartner.
The department's medical team makes every effort in order to provide the first-class medical care adapted to individual needs. At the same time, important attention is paid to the psychosocial support of patients. Thanks to a comprehensive approach to therapy aimed at the positive long-term result for each patient, the department regularly demonstrates high treatment success rates.
The treatment of patients who need heart surgery is carried out in close cooperation with the specialists of the Department of Cardiac Surgery. In this case, the department's cardiologists are responsible for the comprehensive diagnostics and subsequent care. In addition, the experts from the Department of Cardiology and Angiology are involved if required. Thus, the department offers patients the widest therapeutic options and the very latest treatment techniques, in particular catheter procedures, which are an excellent alternative to classical surgical interventions. Most minimally invasive procedures are performed under local anesthesia. The patient does not feel any pain and can be discharged from the hospital much faster. After the catheter procedure, the patient is also recommended to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
The department’s clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostic services
- Echocardiography
- Blood count
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Electrocardiography (including long-term ECG)
- Ergometry
- Spiroergometry
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Multislice computed tomography
- Catheter diagnostics
- Treatment of simple and complex heart defects
- Simple heart defects
- Ventricular septal defect
- Atrial septal defect
- Atrioventricular septal defect
- Congenital heart valve diseases
- Stenoses that prevent normal blood flow (obstructive forms)
- Complex heart defects
- Transposition of the great vessels
- Tetralogy of Fallot
- Univentricular heart
- Simple heart defects
- Minimally invasive interventions
- Closure of the open oval window and atrial septal defect
- Balloon dilatation of heart valves (valvuloplasty)
- Dilatation in arterial and venous stenosis
- Balloon dilatation
- Stent implantation
