A coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA) is a new heart-imaging test currently undergoing rapid development. CTA is a non-invasive diagnostic method to detect stenosis and to determine fatty deposits in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. In some diagnostic cases, CTA replaces a catheter-based intervention, markedly reducing the patients load. The information collected during the coronary CTA is used to create 3-D images of the coronary arteries on a computer screen. A CTA can provide important insights into the extent and nature of plaque formation in the walls of the arteries that has not yet hardened, but may lead to future problems. This quick and safe examination is painless for the patient.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the heart allows doctors to obtain all the information about the functioning of heart ventricles. Partial impairments of the contractions of muscular walls can be accurately specified. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left ventricle helps define the intensity of blood pumping in the aorta. With the help of the MRI, it is possible to receive complete information on the functioning of the heart ventricle. This examination does not require the injection of contrast dye.

Echocardiograph is another new non-invasive examination method. The advantage of this method is that this procedure is done without x-rays and can be repeated if necessary. With the help of an echocardiography, we can examine the muscle and observe all the pain-causing changes. Mitral insufficiency and valvular heart disease can be traced on the monitor. A 3-D visualization of the heart in motion is a new method in the discipline of heart examination.

Cardiac rhythm disturbance such as tacchycardio and bradycardio represent very frequently occurring problems for patients. We examine and treat both of these disturbances and also carry out electrophysiological examinations. In the case of tachycardia (rapid cardiac rhythms) we perform an ablation. For the treatment of bradycardia (cardiac rhythm of slow periodicity) we implant a cardiac pacemaker. Defibrillators and special stimulations systems for the heart ventricles are also treatments in our division. Such implantations allow for the restoration of the hearts strength.

By using ultrasound sonography, we are able to examine the arterial and venous vessels of the heart, neck, hands, legs, and abdominal cavity in 3-D. Angiological examinations are very important for those patients who would like to undergo diagnostics to examine the current status of their vessels.

Coronary angiogram or cardiac catherization is one of the most common invasive test for detecting coronary artery stenosis. Here we can detect significant narrowing of an artery that might require stenting, which can be done during this procedure or a surgery.
