HerzGefässKlinik Bethanien

Welcome to the Bethanien Heart and Vascular Clinic in Zurich. We are the ideal place to come for all problems relating to the heart, arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. We provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis and treatment to follow-up care.

In our specialist areas of angiology and cardiology, we deal with all problems of the cardiovascular system. In addition to comprehensive examinations and customized drug treatments, we offer catheter-based procedures (balloon therapy, stent implantation, minimally invasive aneurysm treatment) and work with experienced vascular surgeons, cardiac surgeons, and rhythmologists for patients who require such procedures.

Cardiology

• Check-up
• Preoperative cardiac examinations
• Resting ECG
• Stress ECG
• Heart valve function
• Long-term ECG
• Long-term blood pressure measurements
• Echocardiography
• Electroconversions
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Pacemaker patients

Our specialty: cardiology

Cardiology, formerly a branch of internal medicine, has undergone tremendous development. It deals with the heart, blood circulation, and blood vessels near the heart, as well as their functions, diseases, and therapies. It offers rapid and highly reliable diagnostics, high-resolution imaging procedures, and excellent therapies.

• Cardiology focuses on:
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis)
• Angina pectoris
• Heart attack
• Heart failure caused by heart attack
• Heart valve disorders
• High blood pressure (arterial hypertension)
• Stroke
• Aortic or mitral valve insufficiency
• Narrowing of the aortic or mitral valve
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Conduction disorders
• Heart failure/cardiac insufficiency
• Thrombotic vascular disease

Arteries

Diagnosis and treatment of arterial diseases according to the latest findings

• Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (intermittent claudication, smoker's leg)
• Cerebrovascular occlusive disease (stroke prevention, stroke, cerebral infarction)
• Renovascular occlusive disease (high blood pressure due to narrowing of the renal arteries)
• Aneurysms, e.g., abdominal aortic aneurysm (dilated blood vessels with the risk of rupture)
• Arterial compression syndrome (thoracic outlet syndrome, popliteal entrapment syndrome)
• Raynaud's syndrome, finger artery occlusion
• Vasculitis (inflammatory vascular diseases)
• Angiodysplasia (vascular malformations)
• Microcirculation (investigation of: Raynaud's syndrome, rheumatic diseases, diabetes, low-pressure glaucoma)

Veins

Diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases according to the latest findings.

• Varicose veins (varicose veins, spider veins)
• Ulcerative disease (open leg, ulcer)
• Phlebitis (vein inflammation)
• Thrombosis
• Thrombosis prophylaxis (e.g., travel thrombosis)

Lymph vessels

Diagnosis and treatment of lymphatic vessel disorders according to the latest findings.

• Lymphedema
