Cardiology Clinic at the Heart Center
Cardiology

Sonnenstraße 26,
80331 München

The clinic has a large functional diagnostics and radiology department. We have the most modern methods and equipment at our disposal for accurate diagnosis, from three-dimensional ultrasound, computerized tomographic angiography to magnetic resonance imaging of the heart.

About the clinic

The cardiology clinic at the Heart Center at Isar Clinic performs:

  • Twenty-four-hour readiness to perform transluminal balloon coronary angioplasty (TBCA) for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction
  • Treatment of coronary heart disease with medications, balloon dilatation and a stent
  • Electrophysiologic cardiologic examination and removal of pathologic areas of myocardium by cauterization using a special catheter for cardiac arrhythmias (catheter ablation)
  • Pacemaker, defibrillator and specialized defibrillator implantation, e.g., for heart failure
  • Medications and invasive treatments for heart failure
  • Diagnosis and treatment of heart valve disease
  • Medication and invasive treatment of hypertension
  • Rehabilitation course after pacemaker and defibrillator insertion
  • Determining the patient’s operability status in relation to their cardiac system and circulation.

Our catheter lab is always open for emergencies, both day and night, weekdays and weekends.

Patients with acute myocardial infarction will receive prompt and effective care. Blocked coronary arteries can be quickly opened by balloon dilatation or stent placement. Moreover, modern drug-coated stents are also used to prevent the recurrence of vessel stenosis and are individually selected for each patient. In addition, in acute heart failure, temporary support of cardiac performance with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is possible.

Heart rhythm disorders are very difficult for patients to tolerate and are partly responsible for stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. Based on a detailed discussion with the patient, we try to select the best medications and treatment tactics for each individual patient.

Our range of services includes but is not limited to:

  • drug treatment for heart rhythm disorders,
  • removal of pathologic areas of myocardium by cauterization using a special catheter in atrial fibrillation (catheter ablation) with the help of state-of-the-art imaging systems,
  • stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation through left atrial auricle isolation,
  • outpatient postoperative care for patients with pacemakers and defibrillators.

Additionally

Hypertension is a mass disease in Germany. After a specialized diagnosis, we will choose the best individual therapy for you: from medication to the modernized method of catheter sclerotherapy. For patients with high blood pressure, in whom the combination of several medications does not reduce the blood pressure, we perform cauterization of the renal artery. In treatment with catheter insertion with high-frequency current, the nerve plexuses in both renal arteries are cauterized with a spiral method.

Stroke, myocarditis, long-term hypertension and other cardiac diseases can lead to deterioration of the functional state of the heart. Patients notice rapid, labored breathing in everyday life, often with minor exertion. In this case, we provide individualized assistance: we combine various medications to relieve the heart’s workload and improve its functional state. If necessary, a special pacemaker or defibrillator can be implanted, which allows the heart ventricles to synchronize again (resynchronization treatment), thus improving the heart’s functioning and vitality.

The chief physician of the clinic is Prof. Alexander Leber. He is one of the 10 leading cardiologists. His areas of expertise are: invasive treatment of acute coronary syndrome, invasive treatment of main stem stenosis, blood vessel diseases (in particular chronic obstruction) and treatment of heart valve diseases with catheter insertion.

Prof. Leber is a member of the German Community of General Practitioners, the German Society of Cardiology, the Bavarian Association of General Practitioners, the Invasive Cardiology Working Group, the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions and the European Society of Cardiology. 

His publications:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial perfusion at 3.0 Tesla for identification of myocardial ischemia: comparison with coronary catheter angiography and fractional flow reserve measurements.
  • Myocardium: dynamic and single-unit ChT perfusion.
  • MSCT-based calibration of the Edwards Sapien XT TAVI device: impact of different degrees of oversized changes on clinical outcomes.
  • Increased pericardial adipose tissue correlates with atrial fibrillation and left atrial dilatation.
  • Lipoprotein (a) independently correlates with coronary artery calcification.
  • Identification of pericardial adipose tissue improves the prognostic accuracy of coronary artery counts for future cardiovascular events.
  • A new strategy for dual cryoballoon in persistent atrial fibrillation: a pilot study.
  • Cryoballoon in atrial fibrillation ablation.
  • Aortic valve calcium score as a predictor for outcome after TAVI using the CoreValve reversible system.
  • Visualization of abnormal origin and course of coronary arteries in 748 consecutive symptomatic patients using 64-slice computed tomographic angiography.
  • Serum MMP-1 levels predict coronary atherosclerosis in humans.
  • Chemerin is associated with inflammatory markers and components of the metabolic syndrome but does not predict coronary artery atherosclerosis
  • Low adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of mixed and uncalcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques.
  • Pericardial adipose tissue defined by dual-source CT is a risk factor for coronary artery atherosclerosis.
