High blood pressure (hypertension): this condition can be primary, multifactorial in origin, i.e. a combination of several factors (e.g. genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors), or secondary, when it occurs as an accompanying symptom of another condition.
Coronary artery disease: narrowing of the coronary arteries is caused by plaques deposited on the arterial wall, which can grow over years or decades, eventually shrinking, causing stenosis or blockage. The narrowed vessel is unable to deliver enough oxygen to the heart muscle, a condition that can eventually lead to chest pain and eventually heart attack.
Arrhythmia: a faster, slower or irregular heart rhythm compared to normal. This can be caused by damage to the heart muscle, but can also occur in intact heart muscle.
Heart failure: various heart disorders (e.g. high blood pressure, coronary artery disease) can sap the heart’s strength, so a weakened heart cannot deliver enough blood to the organs.
Heart valve defects: in the heart, the heart valves are located at the junction of the atria and ventricles and at the origin of the large blood vessels, which regulate the flow of blood between the heart chambers. If these valves, which act like valves, do not close properly or are severely constricted, i.e. they block the flow of blood even when open, they cause problems in the circulation.
Congenital heart disease: patients over the age of 18 with congenital heart disease require additional regular specialised follow-up throughout their lives. Regardless of the type of disease, the most common late problems are arrhythmias and heart failure. But as an adult, issues such as sport, contraception, having children and employment also require consultation and medical supervision.
Pregnancy and heart disease: for women with suspected heart disease, high blood pressure or heart disease, cardiology-related antenatal care is important from the planning of the baby to its birth.
The clinic offers ECG and stress ECG tests, ABPM (24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) and Holter ECG, as well as cardiac ultrasound and coronary CT.
