Cardiology Clinic Stadelhofen

Our offer

Our cardiology clinic offers the entire spectrum of non-invasive cardiology services

This includes the treatment of patients

  • after heart attacks/stent implantation

  • after heart surgery (bypass surgery, heart valve replacement)

  • with cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation)

  • heart failure (cardiac insufficiency)

  • diseases of the heart valves, aorta, or

  • high blood pressure.

Sports cardiology

In addition, we offer sports cardiology counseling for recreational and professional athletes:

  • How can I exercise even if I have heart disease?

  • Do you experience symptoms when exercising?

  • Are you fit for training and/or competition?

  • Training-induced athlete's heart or pathological changes?

Treatment of heart muscle diseases

The detection and treatment of heart muscle diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or storage diseases is also guaranteed at a high level.

Prevention

The prevention of cardiovascular diseases through early detection and treatment of risk factors in cooperation with referring family doctors complements the services offered by the clinic.

We offer the following examinations:

Resting ECG (electrocardiogram)

A short ECG performed while lying down, which measures electrical heart activity over a few minutes. Used to diagnose cardiac arrhythmia, heart attack or other abnormalities.

Long-term ECG

(24 or 48 hours or 7 days- 14 days ECG)

A portable device continuously records heart activity to detect irregular heart rhythms in everyday life. Also available as a 12-lead ECG.

Exercise stress test (ergometry)

The ECG is recorded during physical exertion (e.g. cycling) to detect malperfusion and arrhythmias in the heart under stress conditions.

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)

An ultrasound examination of the heart via the chest wall (transthoracic). It allows the assessment of heart size, heart function, valve function and movement disorders of the heart wall. This is the standard method for initial imaging assessment of the heart.

Stress echocardiography (exercise echocardiography)

A combination of ultrasound examination of the heart and physical or drug-induced stress. It is used to diagnose malperfusion of the heart (e.g. in coronary heart disease). The stress stimulus allows wall motion abnormalities under stress to be visualised.

Event recorder

A portable device that records heart activity only when needed (manually by the patient or automatically) – ideal for rare symptoms.

Implantable event recorder (loop recorder)

A small device is implanted under the skin and records cardiac arrhythmias over months or years, especially in cases of unexplained fainting or sporadic arrhythmias.

24-hour blood pressure measurement (long-term blood pressure measurement)

In this examination, blood pressure is measured automatically at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours. This is done using a portable device that is attached to the upper arm.

Pacemaker and ICD check-up

Regular check-up of an implanted pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). During this check-up, device data is read, the battery and electrode function are checked, and any necessary adjustments to the settings are made. The check-up is usually performed on an outpatient basis.
