Services offered

Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with diseases of the cardiovascular system. Cardiologists are specialists in internal medicine with a focus on cardiology.

Lipidology is a growing multidisciplinary branch of medicine that deals with disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.

Internal medicine is a specialty of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in adults. Internists, also known as specialists in internal medicine, are trained to treat a wide range of conditions, ranging from common ailments to rare and complex disorders.

The term hypertension specialist refers to physicians who specialize in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and related health conditions. These conditions are among the most common and potentially dangerous health conditions. Undiagnosed hypertension is also known as the "silent killer" because it often has no symptoms and is therefore difficult to detect.

Sports cardiology is a new, innovative branch of cardiology that is specifically aimed at athletes and highly active people.

...are not simply a "lack of discipline," but "multifactorial."It is a complex disruption of the hormonal balance between leptin and ghrelin, combined with poor eating habits, stress, and lack of sleep and exercise.Acupuncture can help you reduce your weight by stimulating your metabolism, regulating the leptin-ghrelin regulatory circuit, and providing a psychologically balancing effect.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women. More women die from heart disease than from all types of cancer combined. Risk factors make women particularly vulnerable to heart disease, even at a younger age.

Cardiotoxicity is damage to the heart caused by certain cancer treatments or medications. It can occur years after cancer treatment, especially in adults who were treated for cancer in childhood.

An echocardiogram (or cardiac ultrasound) is a test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart, heart valves, and cardiac function. Echocardiography is one of the most important diagnostic procedures in cardiology.

Stress echocardiography is a test that uses ultrasound images to show how well your heart muscle is working to pump blood to your body while you are physically active in a controlled environment.

As part of detailed vascular diagnostics, various procedures are used to examine the blood vessels.Vascular diagnostics encompasses a broad spectrum of services that can be used to treat everything from leg pain to circulatory problems. It also specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery stenosis, and aortic aneurysms.

Resting and stress ECG

A Holter ECG is a portable version of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The device records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of 24 hours or more while you are away from your doctor's office.

Outpatient sleep apnea testing involves a diagnostic device that utilizes innovative technologies to ensure accurate detection of sleep apnea. The focus is on autonomous patient use, and the device is designed for sleep apnea testing in your own bedroom.

Preoperative risk assessment is an examination that is carried out in preparation for an upcoming surgical procedure.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, or blood pressure measurement, is a method for measuring and controlling high blood pressure. Hypertension is defined as the upper blood pressure value (systolic blood pressure) being at least 135 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) and/or the lower blood pressure value (diastolic blood pressure) being at least 85 mmHg.

Clinical Focus & Philosophy

In the course of my professional career, I have established a strong interdisciplinary network to ensure the best possible care for my patients. I work in an internationally oriented setting and am pleased to offer consultations and treatment in English. I look forward to welcoming you to my practice and supporting you in improving your heart health.

Between 2018 and 2021, I worked as a senior physician at the Bethanien Cardioangiology Center, where I was also responsible for managing the echocardiography laboratory. I received my training from pioneers of invasive cardiology in the cardiac catheterization laboratories of Markus and Bethanien Hospitals and have extensive experience in performing coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization.

In parallel, I was involved in several research projects and publications and focused my doctoral research on invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation (catheter ablation). In 2021, I joined the Facharztzentrum International in Frankfurt, where I treated both German-speaking and international patients at a high level and was responsible for cardiovascular preventive care.

Thanks to many years of experience and continuous training in cardiology and lipidology, I offer comprehensive, individualized care based on current guidelines of professional societies. Particular emphasis is placed on the prevention of vascular complications and the reduction of cardiovascular risk and mortality. I use state-of-the-art technologies to diagnose and treat cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases.

As a sports cardiologist, I specialize in heart medicine for athletes and physically active individuals. As an active athlete myself, I am familiar with the physical demands of competitive sports, the psychological aspects of athletic performance, and the complex cardiovascular physiology involved.
