Department of internal medicine (gastroenterology, hepatology, cardiology)

The department of internal medicine (gastroenterology, hepatology, cardiology) at Academic Hospital zum Heiligen Geist Frankfurt am Main treats the entire spectrum of internal organ pathological conditions. The department specialises in gastrointestinal tract diseases, cardiovascular system diseases and lung disorders and pays special attention to emergency medicine. The department's medical team annually diagnoses and treats more than 4,500 patients with disorders of the internal organs. Experienced doctors and nurses have access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. These include invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterisation, pacemaker implantation, gastroscopy, rigid and flexible bronchoscopy, and non-invasive examinations such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography. In addition, the department has an intensive care unit that specialises in the treatment of emergencies. Seriously ill patients can find all the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the department, such as non-invasive or assisted ventilation, intermittent or continuous venovenous hemofiltration and modern analgosedation. Also, based in the department, a certified chest pain unit deals with acute coronary syndrome treatment.

The advantage of the department is the possibility of complex treatment under one roof. After a thorough and accurate diagnosis, doctors prescribe individual therapy to patients according to the latest national and international standards. The trained nursing staff creates conditions for a comfortable and pleasant stay in the hospital.
