The Isar Heart Center

The frequency of cardiovascular diseases is steadily increasing every year. However, not always a patient can get adequate help due to insufficiently high level of technology and qualification of doctors. German medicine today is one of the best, which is confirmed by various international experts. Clinics in Germany, particularly in Munich, have everything necessary for diagnostics and treatment of practically any heart and vascular diseases.

Dr. Silber’s clinic gives preference to mini-invasive methods of treatment of various cardiac diseases, as well as the selection of adequate drug therapy with high rates of stabilization of patients.

Cardiologist Dr. Sigmund Silber has extensive experience in treating patients with various cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Silber began his training in 1968 at the Ludwig Maximilian University Medical School. After only two years of training, Dr. Silber was already hired as a researcher at the Institute of Experimental Pharmacology at the University of Munich. Working for several years and receiving higher education, Sigmund Silber conducted the necessary research to write and defend his dissertation on the topic: «The effect of Aescin on blood circulation». In 1975, Dr. Silber officially began his medical practice.

During the next few years, Dr. Silber did his residency and postgraduate training at the German Heart Center in Munich under the supervision of Prof. W. Rudolph, MD. In 1982, Dr. Silber was confirmed as an assistant professor at the Center for Cardiology Clinic of the Ludwig Maximilian University. In the same year, he was appointed head of the Department of Nuclear Cardiology. Due to his hard work, writing various scientific papers and participating in international conferences, Dr. Sigmund Silber was selected as a member of the Isotope and Formulary Committee of the University of Munich.

In addition, working in the field of minimally invasive techniques and conservative drug treatment, he headed the laboratory for ST-segment Holter monitoring at the University of Munich. Thanks to the experience gained and patients treated, Dr. Silber defended his doctoral thesis in 1986 at the Ludwig Maximilian University under the supervision of Professor E. Buchborn. The work of the cardiologist is devoted to the peculiarities of the action of nitrates. In 1987, after defending his doctoral dissertation, he went to the USA for an internship, where he worked for several years as an assistant professor at the Department of Cardiology under the supervision of G.M. Pohost.

Since 1990, Sigmund Silber started working in several outpatient clinics as well as in a catheterization laboratory. In addition, he became a full professor of medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University in 1998. Starting in the 1990s, Sigmund Silber developed the Isar Heart Center. Today, this institution is one of the leading medical cardiology centers in Munich and Germany.

The institution provides a wide range of diagnostics and treatment of heart and vascular diseases. The success of heart disease treatment depends to a large extent on the accuracy of the diagnosis, so treatment at the clinic of Professor Dr. Silber begins with an examination using high-tech equipment and methods that provide reliable data on the state of the heart and blood vessels, and allow to make an accurate diagnosis. Each patient undergoes an ECG in 12 leads, at rest, during exercise or, if necessary, long-term monitoring of the heart.

Catheterization or coronary angiography is used to diagnose more complex rhythm or conduction disorders. This procedure can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure. In addition, coronarography allows not only to exclude or confirm any heart disease, but also to monitor the effectiveness of drug therapy. Based on the results of the study, the doctor can adjust the dose of medications. During coronarography, the doctor can examine the vessels of the heart, such as the left and right coronary arteries.
