Helping you detect risks early and protect your heart health long-term.

At the Diagnostic & Therapeutic Heart Center, we provide comprehensive heart screening and preventive cardiology in Zurich to help you detect risks before symptoms appear. 

Each same-day appointment includes an in-depth consultation with a senior cardiologist, advanced on-site diagnostics, and a personalised plan to protect your long-term heart health, giving you clarity, confidence, and control over your cardiovascular future.

Who Should Consider a Heart Screening – And Why Early Detection Matters

Even without noticeable symptoms, regular heart screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious cardiovascular problems. 

You should consider booking a screening if any of the following apply to you:

• You have a family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac events
  
• You experience mild symptoms such as occasional chest pressure, palpitations, or fatigue
  
• You have high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or diabetes
  
• You live a busy or high-stress lifestyle and want proactive reassurance
  
• You’re starting a new exercise program and want a safe fitness baseline
  
• You want a comprehensive cardiac evaluation for peace of mind

Early detection through preventive screening gives you the best chance to protect your heart before problems develop.

We make the screening process straightforward, thorough, and focused on giving you answers. 

Here’s what typically happens during your visit with one of our senior cardiologists:

1. Detailed medical consultation – We review your symptoms, health history, risk factors, and lifestyle in depth.

2. Comprehensive physical examination – A focused assessment of your cardiovascular system.

3. On-site diagnostic testing – Tests such as ECG, echocardiography, or blood analysis are performed as needed to evaluate heart function.

4. Expert interpretation and discussion – Your results are explained clearly, and we answer any questions you may have.

5. Personalised prevention plan – We provide tailored recommendations, next steps, and follow-up options to protect your heart long-term.

Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their cardiovascular health and a plan designed to reduce future risks.

Diagnostic Tests Used During Your Heart Screening

All key cardiac tests are performed on-site using advanced equipment, so you receive accurate results without delays. 

Depending on your individual risk profile and symptoms, your cardiologist may recommend one or more of the following:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) – Measures your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm to detect arrhythmias or conduction issues.

• Echocardiography (Echo) – Uses ultrasound to visualise heart structure and function, assessing valves and pumping performance.

• Exercise stress test – Evaluates how your heart responds to exertion, helping identify coronary artery disease or exercise-induced issues.

• Holter monitoring – A 24–72-hour continuous ECG recording that detects intermittent rhythm disturbances.

• Blood tests – Measure cholesterol, inflammation markers, and other cardiovascular risk factors.

All test results are explained directly by your cardiologist during the visit, ensuring you leave with clarity and a clear action plan.
