The HeartTeam from HerzKlinik: experts in cardiology and heart surgery
Our team consists of internationally recognised specialists who offer virtually the entire spectrum of state-of-the-art cardiac medicine. This includes comprehensive clarification, consultation and treatment, depending on the clinical picture on an outpatient or inpatient basis (regardless of insurance class). We work closely with your referring physician and support him or her in follow-up care if desired.
Disease patterns and therapies
Coronary artery disease (coronary arteries)
Coronary arteries are the arteries and veins that run through the heart. They supply our heart with oxygen and nutrients. If our coronaries are diseased, we speak of coronary heart disease. >> More about coronary heart disease (coronary arteries)
Aortic valve stenosis (heart valve defect)
Together with three other valves in the heart, it ensures that the blood flows in only one direction. It connects the left ventricle with the aorta, the main artery, and functions like a valve. >> More about aortic valve stenosis (heart valve defect)
Mitral valve insufficiency (leaky mitral valve)
The mitral valve is directional: Together with the three other heart valves, it is responsible for the correct flow of blood from the pulmonary circulation into the left main chamber. >> More about mitral valve insufficiency (leaky mitral valve)
Catheter-based mitral valve reconstruction is a gentle procedure for treating a leaky mitral valve (mitral valve insufficiency), which is performed under general anesthesia using a minimally invasive catheter. Imaging using 3D ultrasound with an ultrasound probe in the oesophagus plays an important role in this procedure.
Heart failure (weakness of the heart muscle)
Only a strong heart can pump the necessary amount of blood into the body. If the heart muscle is weak, the organs, cells and tissues soon lack oxygen and nutrients. Circulatory failure is imminent. >> More about heart muscle weakness (cardiac insufficiency)
Cardiac arrhythmia
A cardiac arrhythmia is when the heart beats too fast, too slow or irregularly. This causes the heart to pump less blood into the circulation. >> More about cardiac arrhythmias
Invasive cardiology
Our team offers a broad spectrum of modern invasive cardiology in a competent and patient-oriented manner >> Our competences in invasive cardiology
Catheter-based heart valve therapy
Catheter-based heart valve therapies have established themselves as an alternative to conventional surgical treatment of heart valves. >> More about catheter-based heart valve therapies

Heart Surgery
Cardiac surgery is an integral part of HerzKlinik Hirslanden and all indications for surgery are discussed as a team. >> Our competences in cardiac surgery
Heart Emergency
Acute diseases of the cardiovascular system are serious emergency situations that must be recognized quickly and treated without delay. >> Our expertise in cardiac emergencies
The heart check-up is an optimal, preventive medical measure for your heart, circulation and brain.
Special consultations / 3D special echoes
Modern cardiac medicine includes in particular the consultation of patients in special situations. >> Our special consultation hours
