About the department
The Department of Cardiology, Endocrinology, Nephrology and Pulmonology at the University Hospital Würyburg offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the heart and blood vessels, pathologies of the endocrine organs, including diabetes mellitus, as well as diseases of the kidneys, lungs and respiratory tract. The department has in its arsenal an advanced medical infrastructure, which allows to provide the high-precision diagnostics and the most effective treatment of even the most complex clinical cases. At the center of all efforts of the department’s medical team is the patient, his health and a positive emotional mood for a favorable therapy outcome. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Frantz.
The department is the recognized Cardiac Catheterization Center. The heart catheter diagnostics is a reliable method for the detection of coronary artery stenosis. The department regularly performs such procedures as balloon dilatation, stent implantation or rotabulation. With the help of catheter techniques, heart valve defects and structural defects of the heart wall are corrected. In particular, the department specializes in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip), catheter treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, etc. The treatment of heart failure is one of the priorities of the department. For these purposes, the department has the state-of-art technical capabilities and cooperates closely with the German Comprehensive Heart Failure Center (DZHI) and other departments. A team of doctors works in three modern catheterization laboratories 24 hours a day. It provides medical care for patients with acute heart attack and performs urgent interventions on the coronary arteries.
In the field of endocrinology, the department treats all diseases and metabolic disorders in adults caused by hormonal problems. The department specializes in the treatment of thyroid diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, endocrine tumors, obesity, etc. In addition, the department is one of two Reference Centers for Rare Endocrine Diseases in Germany, certified by the European Union!
One of the priorities of the department is the diagnostics and treatment of endocrine tumors. The clinical manifestations of endocrine tumors are extremely diverse, and therefore the doctors of various medical specialties cooperate in providing assistance to such patients. Should the patient be diagnosed with a malignant tumor, a treatment regimen will be developed at the tumor board within the framework of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Mainfranken(CCCM). The department specializes in the treatment of adrenal and thyroid cancer, pituitary tumors, pheochromocytoma, adrenal incidentalomas, and diseases caused by hormone-active neoplasms (for example, Cushing's disease or Conn's syndrome). To continuously improve the quality of treatment and diagnostics, the department participates in the German Registry of Adrenal Tumors (NKR).
Among the department’s priorities is also nephrology. In this field, it offers the diagnostics and treatment of all acute and chronic diseases and functional disorders of the kidneys. The department specializes in supporting renal therapy, kidney transplantation, as well as in the treatment of renal arterial hypertension. The scope of tasks of the department's doctors also include the therapy of all forms of acute kidney failure, inflammation of the renal glomeruli (glomerulonephritis), cystic nephropathy. Also, the department offers the treatment of kidney failure in case of diabetes mellitus, interdisciplinary treatment of autoimmune diseases and rheumatological diseases. Fabry disease is treated within the specialized center.
The specialists of the department are also engaged in the diagnostics and treatment of all diseases of the lungs, respiratory tract and thorax. In addition to bronchial asthma (BA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the department also specializes in the modern treatment of lung cancer. In addition, the department is the recognized Center for Rare Lung Diseases.
The department enjoys an impeccable reputation in the treatment of COPD, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchiectasis. In particular, the department specializes in the treatment of severe pulmonary pathology and diseases of unclear etiology. All modern methods are available for the treatment, including, for example, endoscopic lung volume reduction and implantation of the so-called bronchial valves. In addition, the department successfully uses modern methods of drug therapy, for example, replacement therapy for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
