Centre for Internal Medicine Clinic for Cardiovascular Disorders
Work of our clinic consists of diagnostics and therapy of cardiac diseases and vessels. In this context, the entire spectrum of services involved in maximum care is applied, which corresponds to the same quality of university departments.
For patients suffering from acute heart attack, there is a 24-hour on-call team at your disposal which can immediately treat those patients in the cathlab. In the discipline of electrophysiology, which means diagnostics and therapy of cardiac arrhythmias, this clinic is the main centre in the centre of Stuttgart. Due to the close organisational teamwork with and proximity to the surgical clinic Sana Herzchirurgie Stuttgart, we are able to perform even high-risk procedures on the coronary vessels. Since 2008, we have placed catheter-conducted aortic valve replacement during hybrid surgery together with our heart surgeons.
This clinic has got the full authorisation to conduct continuing education for certification in cardiology and intensive care.
