Cardiology

Your specialist private practice for cardiology

Cardiology is the branch of internal medicine that deals with the heart, its diseases and diseases of the cardiovascular system. This includes the consistent treatment of existing heart diseases as well as their diagnosis and prevention. Typical clinical pictures and complaints range from (simple) cardiovascular diseases to coronary heart disease and problems with the heart rhythm through to heart attacks.

In our extensively equipped internal medicine centre Dr. med. Florian Aurich, PD Dr. Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Peter Steinbigler und Dr. med. Stefanie Rosner offer you a broad spectrum of non-invasive cardiological diagnostics with state-of-the-art medical equipment. Our experienced team always attaches particular importance to the combination of technical-apparative procedures and human care. Together with you as our patient, we therefore create a perfectly customised diagnostic and treatment concept.

Should further imaging of the heart (coronary CT, cardio-MRI, myocardial scintigraphy) or invasive or surgical procedures (coronary angiography, cardiac surgery) become necessary in the course of diagnosis and/or treatment, we work together with renowned centres in Munich. In this way, we can continue to guarantee rapid and personalised treatment.

Our tip: Please bring your preliminary findings in written or digital form with you to your appointment in our cardiology consultation. This includes, for example, doctor’s letters, cardiac catheterisation and CT/MRI findings as well as the pacemaker card if you have a pacemaker.

Background

Cardio diagnostics

Modern cardiology is a technically orientated, particularly advanced discipline of internal medicine. As a renowned and excellently equipped specialist practice, the personal and human care of our patients is all the more important to us. That’s why we start with a very detailed consultation to establish the nature of your heart problems, ask you about coronary and other previous illnesses and want to know more about any medication you are currently taking. Of course, we will also carry out a comprehensive physical examination.

All of this helps us to precisely assess your complaints and to create a personalised examination and treatment plan for you. We also have access to a particularly extensive, state-of-the-art repertoire of medical equipment and technologies to ensure a precise diagnosis.

Our cardiological diagnostic services include

  • ECG, exercise ECG, long-term ECG
  • Long-term blood pressure measurement
  • Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), stress cardiac ultrasound (stress echocardiography)
  • Ultrasound of the neck vessels (carotid duplex), screening ultrasound of the pelvic leg vessels (leg artery and leg vein duplex), screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm
  • Screening for circulatory disorders in the legs (ankle-arm index), measurement of vascular elasticity (Vicorder)
  • Minor lung function test (spirometry)

Cardiovascular prevention

In addition to cardiological diagnostics and the treatment of acute and chronic heart conditions, the prevention of cardiovascular diseases is another focus of our experienced specialists’ everyday medical work.

Through early and customised examinations, we determine your personal risk profile for such diseases and create your personal prevention plan. We are also happy to provide comprehensive lifestyle counselling.

Treatment focus points

We treat patients with high blood pressure, known coronary artery disease (coronary heart disease) or after a heart attack. We also look after you in the event of heart muscle weakness (heart failure) and treat both myocarditis and pericarditis.

Of course, heart valve defects are also part of our treatment spectrum. Even if an operation should become necessary. This is because we are in close contact with some of the best heart valve surgery centres.

Cardiac arrhythmia is another area of treatment. Here too, if drug therapy alone is not sufficient, we work together with specialised cardiac rhythm centres.
