The The Schüchtermann-Klinik is a specialized clinic for cardiovascular diseases. All diagnostic and therapeutic facilities, including catheterization of coronary arteries and peripheral blood vessels, are available in our hospital.
Being a heart centre, comprehensive care for those affected by diseases of the heart and blood vessels is ensured under one roof:

• Acute care in the medical intensive care and monitoring unit
• Cardiac catheterization and blood vessel diagnostics in five examination rooms
• Catheter interventions on the heart (PTCA), leg arteries (PTA), kidney and brain arteries
• Great cardiosurgical interventions in five operating theatres
• Postoperative care and subsequent rehabilitation in 5 wards

Our integrated clinic concept with the departments of cardiology, cardiac surgery, anaesthesiology, and rehabilitation ensures an uninterrupted patient care until health is restored. Thus, transfers between hospitals and longer waiting periods between the different steps of treatment are avoided and the continuity of medical and nursing care is maintained.

Thereby, the recovery process is speedier and the hospital stay is shorter. This chain of care creates a highly efficient and economic framework for the acute care of those affected by cardiovascular diseases.

The last link in this chain is rehabilitation. During this period, efforts focus on further improvement and stabilization of health by means of exercise therapy, dietary assistance, physiotherapy, psychological support, advice from a social worker, and health training.
