Our team offers comprehensive and highly specialized care of seriously ill heart failure patients with the aim of achieving a good quality of life at home and at work.
Your benefits range from receiving a cardiac device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator to receiving cardiac resynchronization treatment (CRT) or implantation of an artificial heart (LVAD – left ventricular assist device). In 2018, the Albertinen Heart and Vascular Center located at the Albertinen Hospital was certified as Hamburg's first "National Heart Failure Unit Center".
