Cardiology (Germany)
Cardiology in Germany is one of the most popular sections of medicine among foreign citizens and a direction in which German doctors have achieved global success.
Multidisciplinary hospitals and cardiological centers of the country offer a wide range of advanced techniques and a high-tech approach to the treatment of complex heart diseases in adults and children. Medical services in Germany also include an extremely detailed examination of the body and an effective rehabilitation process.
According to Ukrainian patients, an attractive feature of German medicine for them was not only its high quality, comprehensive approach, but also the practice of state regulation of the cost of treatment in Germany.
According to the statistics of the country's medical institutions, more than 200,000 foreign patients from around the world come to German clinics for treatment every year. The lion's share of medical tourists choose Germany for heart surgery. Local hospitals are famous for having an effective practice of performing minimally invasive operations with a quick rehabilitation of patients.

Cardiology treatment methods in Germany
Treatment in Germany is rightfully considered one of the most advanced medical services in the world market. Attracting foreign medical tourists to the country is facilitated by the availability of the latest generation of medical equipment in clinics, the use of treatment protocols that have passed a rigorous selection and approval by specialized communities.
The diagnostic stage in Germany, as the initial stage of treatment, is treated with particular care. Cardiological diagnostics includes both traditional methods and new ones, which allow to recognize a disease of the cardiovascular system in the early stages of development and pathology of non-cardiac origin (cardialgia). These methods include:
- Сoronary angiography;
- Ultrasound of the heart;
- MRI of the heart;
- 3D echocardiography.
Ukrainian citizens who have chosen Germany for the treatment of heart diseases turn to German cardiologists with both common ailments (arrhythmia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease) and rare pathologies. Specialists of German clinics use a wide range of therapeutic and surgical methods in the fight against heart diseases. These include:
- Сonservative methods. They include measures to normalize the work of the cardiovascular system by taking medications.
Antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulants, and beta-blockers help relieve pain, stabilize blood pressure, or bring cholesterol back to normal. This is not a complete list of drugs that German cardiologists prescribe to patients. Patients receive an individual treatment regimen after a course of cardiodiagnostics. - Surgical methods for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system:
- Stenting (percutaneous coronaroplasty) is aimed at restoring the lumen of the vessel, normalizing blood flow and getting rid of pain. Recommended for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting – restoration of the lumen of the cardiac arteries. Unlike stenting, the intervention is performed under general anesthesia. The operation is mainly prescribed for patients at risk: diabetics, the elderly, patients with blockage of several arteries of the heart and heart failure.
- Heart transplant – requires the selection of a donor and is used in exceptional cases when traditional methods of treatment do not bring any effect. Doctors from the Leipzig Cardiology Center have achieved excellent results in this direction.
- Balloon angioplasty of the coronary arteries – is used in case of damage to the coronary artery. The indication for the operation is acute myocardial infarction, spasm of the coronary artery, angina pectoris.
German cardiac surgeons are proficient in all relevant and effective methods of treating diseases of the cardiovascular system and are constantly mastering new high-tech medical technologies to improve their professional level.
Advantages of cardiology in Germany
- The presence of large specialized cardiocenters and diagnostic centers, including those specializing exclusively in cardiology.
- High success rates of cardiac surgery.
- Individualized approach in the treatment of heart diseases.
- Clinics have equipment to perform interventions on a beating heart without the use of a heart-lung machine, which significantly reduces the risk factor for older patients.
- Effective methods for the rehabilitation of patients after surgery.
- Cardiologists in Germany undergo additional long-term specialized training before starting practical work.
- German doctors take an active part in testing the latest drugs, contribute to the development of medical equipment and master innovative technologies for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Cost of cardiology treatment in Germany
The price for cardiological treatment in Germany is slightly higher than in multidisciplinary centers, for example, in Israel or Turkey, but is in the average price position for clinics in the EU countries. The estimate for the treatment of heart diseases is formed depending on the length of the patient’s stay in the hospital, the completeness of the diagnostic course, the presence of concomitant diseases and other factors affecting the cost of treatment in Germany. Estimated price of cardiology procedures in German clinics:
Cardio Check-up: 1990 USD.
Echocardiography: 354 USD.
Comprehensive diagnostics of the heart and blood vessels: 3930-5959 USD.
Aortic stenting: from 17270 USD.
