CARE SERVICES

Advice

Sports counseling

If you are an athlete, professional or recreational, it is crucial that you take good care of the hardest-working muscle in your body: your heart. Our goal is to help people with an increased risk of electrical heart diseases or existing conditions like cardiac arrhythmia continue living an active lifestyle, stay safe and symptomless while exercising – and always bring their A game.

Genetic counseling

Abnormal heart rhythms can be passed down from one generation to the next – in some cases, with a chance as high as 50% among first-degree relatives. Using genetic testing, we can safely detect if you have inherited cardiac arrhythmia and talk you through what the test results mean for you and your family members with the help of a genetic counsellor.

Lifestyle counselling

Eating a heart-friendly diet, building an exercise routine, quitting smoking, keeping your blood pressure and cholesterol levels at bay, cutting back on alcohol consumption – these are only a few examples of how you can prevent or drastically improve heart rhythm disorders. Let us find a plan that fits your specific needs, goals and concerns.

About

Expert rhythmology care in the heart of Switzerland.

With a combined total of over 10,000 successful procedures, we can offer electrophysiology knowledge and cardiac therapy experience, from which patients with all kinds of arrhythmia can benefit – over 20,000 already have. Most of them, we treated as co-chief physicians at one of the leading electrophysiology departments in Switzerland.
This track record has earned us the trust of premier medical technology developers, allowing us to deliver the latest evidence-based heart rhythm disorder treatments before anyone else. This is how Cardiopuls Medical Centre came to be. 

We believe that quality cardiology care rests on two pillars: people-centered thinking and access to proven technology innovations.

We also believe in our ability to provide both. Get to know us or schedule an appointment to discuss your questions and concerns.
