The Transplantation and Artificial Heart Outpatient Clinic focuses on the care and treatment of patients with advanced to terminal heart failure of any cause, both before and after surgical treatment. The outpatient clinic is aimed at patients with heart muscle disease, coronary heart disease or heart valve disease as well as patients after a heart transplant or after implantation of a mechanical heart support system (artificial heart/VAD). In cooperation with the Clinical Department of Pneumology, patients are also cared for after a heart-lung or lung transplant.

This specialist cardio outpatient clinic is primarily for patients before, during and after potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy or after radiation to the chest. Using modern diagnostic methods, heart damage can be detected before symptoms occur.

In addition, we are a point of contact for patients with an increased cardiovascular risk (e.g. diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure) or a pre-existing cardiological disease in order to optimize therapy before initiating oncological therapy.

Last but not least, we see patients with cardiac involvement in tumor diseases (metastases) or primary tumors of the heart and plan the best possible therapy in collaboration with the other specialist departments.

Appointment by arrangement

In this special cardio consultation for patients with heart valve diseases, an initial decision is made on further treatment (surgical vs. interventional) in close cooperation between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, taking into account the overall condition and concomitant diseases. The consultation is also used to explain modern treatment options for valve diseases to patients.

Further information can be found in our flyer.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and can dramatically restrict the daily lives of those affected.

The best treatment is as individual as the person affected. Depending on whether there are other diseases of the heart or other organs, and depending on how long and how often the atrial fibrillation occurs, we work with our patients in this specialist cardio consultation to find a tailored therapy.

Appointment by arrangement

Patients with primarily electrical diseases, so-called ion channel diseases, are treated in this specialist cardio consultation. These rare diseases include Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). The often very young patients require special clarification and individual advice, which we offer in this consultation.

Another focus is unexplained sudden cardiac death in young adults or familial sudden cardiac death. In this context, we offer individual clarification after surviving sudden cardiac death and also clarification for relatives after a sudden cardiac death has occurred in the family

Takotsubo syndrome is an acute heart disease, also known as "stress cardiomyopathy", "apical ballooning" or "broken heart syndrome", which heals within days to weeks in the majority of cases. Takotsubo syndrome is sometimes difficult to diagnose. All the necessary examination modalities are routinely carried out in our special consultation hour by specially trained cardio experts.
