Diagnostics and treatment range

Ultrasonic and magnetic resonance diagnostics

• Transthoracic echocardiography
• Transoesophageal echocardiography
• Stress echocardiography
• Vascular duplex sonography
• Sonography of other parts of the body
• Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) of heart and vessels

ECG, blood pressure and circulatory diagnostics

• Resting electrocardiogram
• Exercise electrocardiogram
• Long-term electrocardiogram
• Long-term blood pressure measurement
• Peripheral Doppler pressure measurement
• Oscillography

Pulmonary function testing and circulatory diagnostics

• Spirometry
• Tilting-table test

Diagnostic catheter and X-ray procedures

• Coronary angiography
• Guide wire method (FFR)
• Catheter infiltration
• Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
• Electrophysiological study (EPS)
• Angiography of arteries and veins outside the heart

Therapeutic catheter procedures

• Balloon dilatation of the coronary vessels (PTCA) and stent implantation
• Balloon dilatation at the arteries (PTA) outside the heart and stent implantation (including the aorta)
• Obliteration of pathologically changed tissue in the heart (ablation) in case of complex cardiac dysrhythmias and atrial fibrillation
• Closure of congenital heart defects (atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale)
• Expanding of stenosed cardiac valves
• Occlusion (embolisation) of non-functional vessels
• Catheter-based aortic valve replacement
• Catheter-based occlusion of the artrial appendage
• Obliteration of nerve fibers in renal arteries (ablation) in resistent hypertension

Pacemaker surgery

• implantation of all kinds of pacemakers
• as well as AICD (automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators), univentricular and biventricular

Further treatment processes

• Cardioversion in case of fast cardiac dysrhythmias
• Circulatory support method (e.g. intra-aortic balloon pump)
