How are we doing?
Qualifications
The focus of our clinic is on comprehensive treatment of patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. Thanks to modern diagnostic techniques, cardiology can precisely identify the causes of various heart conditions and common cardiac symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations. At Städtisches Klinikum Solingen, we have excellent conditions to treat these issues effectively. Patients can trust that they will receive professional and empathetic care at our Solingen Cardiology Clinic around the clock.
The two main drivers of heart disease, high blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, as well as diabetes, can be effectively and safely treated with medication. Circulatory disorders, rhythm disturbances, and heart valve diseases can now be treated in a much more tolerable manner.
Heart diseases manifest in three areas: blood flow to the heart muscle through the coronary arteries, heart rhythm, and heart strength and valve function. With modern diagnostic techniques, cardiology can pinpoint the causes of various heart diseases and common cardiac symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations.
