…welcome to the leading hospital group in Germany

Cardiovascular Magnetic resonance(CMR) is a modern non-invasive imaging technology to examine the heart and the large vessels without radiation exposure. Our CMR team in Berlin-Buch is among the leading centres in Europe and the world with more than 12 years of experience and a vast number of CMR of state- of the- art examinations (more than 3000 per year) covering the entire spectrum of indications. Many of these currently established indications were even first described by our team. 

CMR has proven :

• Very accurate measurement of heart function
• Assessing the extent of damage to the heart after sustaining a heart attack
• Detecting a missed ‘silent’ heart attack
• Predicting the outcome for coronary bypass operations in patients in whom this line of  therapy is considered.
• Very accurate detection of heart inflammation e.g. after viral infections
• Detriming if the cause of angina (chest pain) is related to diseases (narrowing) of the coronary arteries resulting in reduced blood supply to the heart.
• Assessing heart involvement in a variety of systemic diseases which may affect the heart (e.g. lupus, sarcoidosis)
• Detecting an even  ‘yet silent’ toxic effects of some medications (e.g some cancer medications) on the heart.
• Revealing the cause of heart failure in some specific primary or secondary heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathy)
• Assessing complex congenital heart diseases.
  

Please consider together with your physician, in how far a CMR examination could be relevant for your condition.
