The rehabilitation department at the Schüchtermann-Klinik has a total of 179 beds. Every year, more than 2,500 patients are cared for in an inpatient follow-up treatment setting. In addition to cardiology, angiology and cardiac surgery patients, the department specialises in rehabilitation after heart transplantation andartificial heart implantation.

Follow-up treatmentinvolves medical rehabilitation that follows directly or is closely connected with acute treatment in hospital. The Schüchtermann-Klinik offers follow-up treatment for cardiovascular diseases with different indications.

Thanks to our clinic’s integrated approach and the interdepartmental cooperation with the acute departments, our rehabilitation patients benefit from short treatment pathways, seamless transitions between the individual levels of care and perfectly coordinated diagnostic and therapeutic measures.

Follow-up treatment or general curative treatment usually lasts for a period of three weeks. After completion of the inpatient rehabilitation therapy, there are various options for outpatient aftercare, such as the Intensified Rehabilitation Aftercare (IRENA) programme from the German Pension Insurance organisation or participation in our OUTPATIENT HEART GROUP.
