According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiology at the University Hospital Tuebingen ranks among the top German departments specializing in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases!
The department offers a wide range of services for the diagnostics and treatment of heart diseases. The priorities of the clinical activities include the treatment of coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The department's doctors also have advanced experience in the field of non-invasive imaging diagnostics of cardiac pathologies. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Meinrad Paul Gawaz.
The department operates a state-of-art Chest Pain Unit, which is certified in accordance with the standards of the German Society of Cardiology. The patients with life-threatening and emergency cardiac conditions receive a competent medical care here. The medical team of the unit possesses the special qualifications and skills for the provision of the most prompt and effective medical care.
It is necessary to note that the department has gained an excellent reputation in the treatment of aortic stenosis. Since 2008, it has performed more than 900 procedures for the treatment of this disease, and almost all of them were successful. The department is one of the few in Germany and around the world, which successfully treats aortic stenosis using sparing techniques and, as a rule, without general anesthesia, which guarantees the highest level of safety for a patient.
The service range of the department includes:
- Non-invasive imaging diagnostics of cardiac diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of aortic valve stenosis (a sparing method of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI))
- Diagnostics and interventional treatment of mitral valve failure (MitraClip technique)
- Diagnostics and conservative treatment of heart failure
- Diagnostics and treatment of atrial fibrillation
- Drug therapy
- Radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, Roboterarm system for particularly difficult cases
- Diagnostics and treatment of ventricular tachycardia
- Drug therapy
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Cryoablation
- Diagnostics and treatment of blood clotting disorders and thrombosis (including thrombosis of the coronary vessels)
- Diagnostics and treatment of other cardiac pathologies
