Innovative concept in cardiac care

Apart from offering a comprehensive range of cardiac care services at a single location, the German Heart Centre in Bremen is also the first clinic in Germany to allow cardiologists in private practice to admit and treat their patients on an outpatient basis or in a day clinic setting.

Previously restricted to a hospital setting, patients here can now undergo invasive cardiology and rhythmology procedures. With a firm commitment to lowering sickness and mortality rates in patients suffering from cardiovascular disorders, the clinic also offers additional services to help make life easier for the patient during his/her stay and upon discharge.
