The HerzClinic Luzern with the heart specialists Prof. Dr Georg Fröhlich, PD Dr Bernhard Herzog and Dr med. Martin Meyer offers its patients individual care of the highest medical quality.

The range of services at the Heart Clinic Lucerne covers the entire field of heart diseases. Each cardiologist also has his unique speciality so patients can be offered highly specialized medicine at the highest level. The physicians at the Heart Clinic Lucerne treat their patients according according to latest scientific findings using the most modern methods.

Special Heart Imaging – Non-Invasive 3D Images of the Heart

In order to avoid unnecessary interventions on the heart, patients are also examined non-invasively with the latest technology such as computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging if the need arises. This allows accurate 3D images of the heart and especially the coronary arteries to be produced in the gentlest way. It is also possible to take exact blood flow measurements in the heart muscle without the need for invasive surgery. A cardiac catheter examination is carried out only if these examinations reveal signs of narrowing of the coronary arteries.

Cardiac Catheterisation – Interventions on the Heart through the Keyhole

A cardiac catheter examination is carried out for a precise imaging and treatment of the coronary vessels. A local anaesthetic is applied to the right wrist, and the artery is punctured there. A general anaesthetic is not necessary because the operation is not painful. A thin tube (= heart catheter) is then advanced from the artery at the wrist to the heart. Contrast medium is then injected directly into the coronary arteries, and an X-ray image is made. This allows narrow spots in the blood vessels of the heart to be identified with high precision. The diagnostic cardiac catheter examination takes only about 10–15 minutes. A pressure bandage is then left in place for approx. 4–5 hours. If constrictions are found during a cardiac catheter examination, these can be removed in the same session using a stent.

Stents – how the Lucerne Heart Clinic supports the vessels

A constriction or obstruction in one of the coronary arteries leads to a circulatory disorder in the affected area. This sometimes has serious consequences for the heart. The stent opens and supports the vessel from the inside, thereby allowing normal blood circulation. A stent is individually selected for each patient. The diameter and length depend on the affected vessel. When implanting the vascular support, which consists of a wire mesh, the vessel is first dilated with a balloon catheter (balloon dilatation). The balloon is then removed. What remains is the wire mesh inside the vessel.

Inpatient stays are at the Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna, one of the most comfortable private clinics in Switzerland with a wonderful view of Lake Lucerne. Patients are cared for by the well-known team of doctors.

The Lucerne Heart Clinic is also a reliable partner for chronic diseases such as heart failure (= cardiac insufficiency) and is there for you even in difficult situations.

Information about Lucerne

Lucerne is the capital of the Canton of Lucerne in Central Switzerland. Its pictorial location is between Lake Lucerne and the mountains Pilatus and Rigi, directly at the outflow of the Reuss. The Reuss marks the transition between the old and the new town. The old town is considered to be particularly well preserved and frequented. Therefore, it has been a popular destination for travelers for more than 170 years. Lucerne is also not lacking in international specialties. For example, the Swiss Caritas has its headquarters in the city, and UNESCO has made the Entlebuch Biosphere in Lucerne the first biosphere reservation in Switzerland.
