Clinic for Cardiology

Welcome to the Clinic for Cardiology. The physicians at the Clinic for Cardiology of the West German Heart Center not only care for patients, but also teach and conduct clinical research. Their knowledge and experience informs their treatment strategies. Complemented by cutting edge medical technologies, our clinic provides optimum conditions for diagnosis and treatment. We treat patients with a wide variety of cardiac conditions, ranging from hypertension to valve disorders to inflammatory cardiac disease.

One main focus area is the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic heart disease.

This includes cardiac catheter diagnostics and cardiac catheter treatment of coronary artery disease and acute myocardial infarction. As part of the Essen myocardial infarction network, the clinic is responsible around the clock for cardiac emergency services for one of the four Essen city regions.

Risk education and individualized counseling on heart-healthy nutrition are also very important to us.
