Cardiopraxis® - Medical practice for cardiology in Düsseldorf
- Together for your cardiovascular health

The risk of cardiovascular disease, with its major complications like heart attack and stroke, has decreased encouragingly and significantly over the past 20 years. The reasons for this are as follows:

• in healthy people we recognize the risk early and can prevent complications in the long term
• in cardiovascular diseases, differentiated diagnostics enable us to provide individualized therapy
• people are empowered by the Internet. They match information with medical specialists and hence influence their health more independently at an earlier stage

Specialists in hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart failure and valvular heart disease

• Like all other cardiologists, we use basic ECG, exercise ECG, echocardiography, long-term ECG and pacemaker interrogation.

  In addition, we use other methods for scientific holistic diagnostics and therapy, for example:

  • Circulatory examination. Circulation measurement, arteriography with pulse wave analysis
  • Vegetative nervous system. Analysis heart rate variability, baroreflex sensitivity.
  • Performance diagnostics. Spiroergometry
  • Lung examination. Lung volume, airway, lung power, transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide.
  • Arterial examination. Duplex sonography of the neck arteries and the pelvic-leg arteries
  • Laboratory tests. Gene polymorphisms Neurotransmitter metabolism (dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, glutamate, estrogen).
  • Cardiac examination. Stress echocardiography, determination of suction force and pumping force, circulation-optimized setting of pacemaker systems, vector cardiography, cardiac catheterization with stent if required.

With the help of this modern forward-looking diagnostics, we can classify your symptoms in a more differentiated way. Consequently, we are able to clearly identify the causes. If you have high blood pressure or are taking medication, for example, we also take into account the interaction between the regulation of the blood pressure control circuit and the body temperature control circuit.

Only a differentiated diagnosis enables an individual therapy and thus a solution of your health problems and thus long-term health.
