Cardiology (Heart)

A cardiologist, or heart doctor, deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

A cardiologist, or heart doctor, deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

The main problems and reasons for visiting a cardiologist: heart-related diseases, coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, valve malfunctions, rhythm disorders, or blood pressure disease unresponsive to conventional treatment. We also recommend consulting a cardiologist if you have a high family risk of heart disease (high cholesterol, early onset of heart disease, sudden death in the family).

A cardiology nurse (heart failure, atrial fibrillation) advises patients on taking medications prescribed by the doctor, monitors the condition, and advises on nutrition and lifestyle. A nurse also measures vital signs: blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen content takes blood tests, and performs an EKG if necessary.

You can see a cardiologist or cardiology nurse without a referral. Reception financed by the Health Insurance Fund takes place only if there is a referral letter.

Cardiac nurse (heart failure)

Look for appointment times

Nurses specialised in heart failure advise patients diagnosed with heart failure on taking medication prescribed by their doctor, monitor patients’ condition, and advise on diet and lifestyle. They also measure vitals such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, and take blood tests and perform ECGs. If necessary, they refer patients for a follow-up cardiologist appointment.

This service can also be booked through the National eBooking System »
