Cardiology and Angiology University Outpatient Clinic
We offer various outpatient clinics where patients can receive care. We plan highly specialised diagnostics and therapies with you, thereby complementing the services offered by your outpatient cardiologist.
The outpatient clinic is located on the third floor of the high-rise ward building (Luisenstr. 64, registration 3A).
All consultations can only be attended by prior appointment! You can reach us from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the telephone numbers given below or by email.
During the rhythmology consultations, we discuss the treatment options for chronic or newly occurring cardiac arrhythmias with you. Of course, we also offer follow-up care and treatment for patients with cardiac implants (Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Biotronik, Sorin / MicroPort and Abbott / St. Jude Medical).
Times: Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00 - 13:00
The acute rhythmology consultation is primarily intended as a short-term counselling service following an emergency room presentation.
Times: Friday 8:00 - 13:00
During the women's consultation, pregnant women with pre-existing cardiac conditions or new cardiac symptoms are cared for.
Pregnant women with pregnancy-associated illnesses (peripartum cardiomyopathy, gestational hypertension and diabetes) receive follow-up care, and women with cardiac illnesses (coronary heart disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias) are cared for as needed.
Times: Tuesday 8:00 - 14:00
Appointments can be made for, among other things:
- congenital and acquired heart defects
- heart attack
- condition after bypass surgery
- heart valve disease
- interventional heart valve replacement
- heart muscle weakness
- coronary heart disease
- women with heart disease
- pulmonary hypertension
- therapy-refractory hypertension
Times: Monday and Friday 8:00 − 14:00
As part of the Amyloidosis Centre, the Amyloidosis Clinic provides care for patients with cardiac amyloidosis and initiates comprehensive diagnostics for patients suspected of having amyloidosis.
Times: In consultation with Gunnar Fiß, T: +49 30 450 617 435
Times: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8:00 - 14:00
The cardio-oncology clinic provides treatment and follow-up care for patients suffering from cardiotoxic side effects as a result of tumour therapy.
Times: by appointment
Patients with heart valve diseases are evaluated in our valve clinic and prepared for interventions or monitored for their progress.
Times: Thursday 8:00 − 14:00
Cardiogenetics of inherited cardiac arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies
The cardiogenetics consultation addresses the treatment and molecular genetic diagnosis of inherited forms of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. QT syndromes, Brugada syndrome, familialatrial fibrillation) and heart muscle diseases (e.g. hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy) as well as unexplained cases of sudden cardiac death (including counselling of relatives).
These diseases are discussed, diagnosed and treated during the consultation:
Inherited cardiac arrhythmias
- Long QT syndrome
- Short QT syndrome
- Brugada syndrome
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
- Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
- Familial cardiac sinus node dysfunction and conduction disorders
- Familial atrial fibrillation
Cardiomyopathies
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (including all phenocopies)
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (primary and secondary forms)
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
- Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy
- Malignant mitral valve prolapse syndrome
The consultation is suitable for:
- patients who already have or are suspected of having one of the aforementioned diseases and for whom a molecular genetic examination may be considered;
- relatives of patients with one of the above-mentioned diseases for whom a molecular genetic examination (e.g. cascade screening) may be recommended;
- patients with one of the above-mentioned diseases who have already had molecular genetic diagnostics several years ago and who would like a re-evaluation of their findings in light of new scientific knowledge.
Head: Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Haverkamp
Times: Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Appointments: via the outpatient clinic, T. +49 30 450 513 150
The angiological consultation, together with the angiological functional diagnostics including Doppler sonography, is the point of contact for patients with vascular diseases, which we can treat comprehensively with both medication and interventional procedures.
Monday - Friday: 9:00 - 15:00
Appointments can be made by calling: T: +49 30 450 513 117
Furthermore, we try to enable you to spend as much time as possible outside the hospital, at home. For this reason, we see a large proportion of patients for whom inpatient admission is planned in the pre-admission clinic. Here, the anamnesis, physical examination, blood sampling and patient education take place on an outpatient basis, so that the planned examinations and interventions can be carried out on the day of admission and you can sleep one more night at home in your own bed.
Times: By appointment

Cardiology private ambulance
At our specialised private consultation within the private cardiology outpatient clinic, we offer you comprehensive and individual care in a relaxed atmosphere. Our experienced team is at your disposal for the diagnosis and treatment of all heart diseases. We focus on the following areas:
Cardiac arrhythmias can take many forms, ranging from harmless irregularities to serious health risks. We offer a precise diagnosis using the latest diagnostic methods and work with you to develop a tailored treatment strategy. We use both drug therapies and innovative catheter ablation procedures.
Diseases of the heart muscle, such as cardiomyopathies, can lead to heart failure and other serious complications. We have extensive experience in the treatment of heart muscle diseases and offer you a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and a holistic therapy that is tailored to your individual needs.
Heart valve defects such as aortic stenosis or mitral valve insufficiency are among the most common heart diseases in old age. In our private consultation, we can offer you the full range of diagnostic procedures to ensure early detection and treatment of valve diseases.
In addition to conservative methods, we also offer minimally invasive procedures and the latest surgical techniques for valve reconstruction or replacement.
Coronary heart disease is one of the most common causes of heart attacks. We offer comprehensive preventive check-ups, precise diagnostics using imaging techniques and innovative therapies for the prevention and treatment of this disease. We combine established drug therapies with interventional procedures.
Our goal is to provide you with excellent medical care and an optimal quality of life.
During the private consultation, we take the time to address your questions and concerns in detail and to develop an individually tailored treatment plan together with you.
Appointments are made by arrangement. To make an appointment, please contact our office:

Important information
Please note that our doctors' expertise as part of the DHZC may be required at short notice, of course in emergencies as well as on the wards and intensive care units, in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory and in the emergency room. Unfortunately, this may delay your outpatient day despite careful planning.
We always try to keep your waiting time as short as possible.However, please also take into account in your own time planning that delays may occur.
On the third floor, you will also find our echocardiography laboratory and our functional diagnostics department, which offers 12-channel ECG, long-term blood pressure measurements, long-term ECG, lung function, ergometry and angiological functional diagnostics including duplex sonography.
