Amyloidoses are complex diseases characterised by protein deposits (amyloid) in the body.

These deposits can lead to organ dysfunction and even organ failure and can therefore be life-threatening.

Amyloidosis Centre

The care of patients with amyloidosis requires a high degree of interdisciplinarity,

which we at the Charité Berlin Amyloidosis Centre (ACCB) offer in its entirety and with great

with a great sense of responsibility and commitment.

The Chest Pain Unit is an interface between the cardiological outpatient clinic, cardiological monitoring ward and intensive care unit. Taking into account the latest national and international guidelines, experienced teams carry out standardised procedures for diagnosis and treatment of patients within the shortest possible time.

The individual severity of the illness and the patient's individual risk are of course taken into account. This simultaneously standardised and individual medical care not only helps to reduce the mortality rate of heart attack patients, but also has an impact on the success of longer-term therapy and the average length of stay of the patient in hospital.

The Cardiac Arrest Centre at Charité's Benjamin Franklin Campus was designed for the optimal treatment of patients in cardiac arrest in accordance with the criteria of the German Resuscitation Council (GRC). Suitable patients undergoing ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation or patients who have survived cardiac arrest can receive optimal interdisciplinary care in the Cardiac Arrest Center with standardised therapeutic measures.

The structural characteristics of the Cardiac Arrest Centre include:

• Availability of a suitable emergency room facility for resuscitated patients, the availability of a cardiac catheterisation laboratory with the possibility of immediate primary PCI around the clock, the possibility of direct transfer of resuscitated patients to the catheterisation laboratory, permanent availability of a place in the intensive care unit with proof of specialist intensive medical care, and the existence of a local quality circle for resuscitation care.
• Ensuring adequate process quality with evidence of standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Quality assurance with evidence of standardised recording of the course of treatment and outcome up to discharge.
