Specialist cardiology care designed for women

From prevention and early detection to treatment and long-term heart health.

At the Diagnostic & Therapeutic Heart Center in Zurich, we provide dedicated cardiology care for women, focusing on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalised treatment of heart disease. 

Our specialists understand that women’s symptoms often present differently, and we tailor every assessment, test, and recommendation to your individual risk profile — so you can protect your heart health with confidence.

Who Should Consider a Women’s Heart Health Assessment

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women — yet it’s often underdiagnosed or overlooked because symptoms can present differently than in men. 

A dedicated women’s cardiac assessment helps detect problems early, guide prevention, and ensure you receive care tailored to your unique risk profile. 

You should consider booking an appointment if:

• You have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or sudden cardiac events

• You’ve experienced unexplained fatigue, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or palpitations

• You’re approaching or have gone through menopause, when heart disease risk increases

• You have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol

• You’ve had pregnancy-related complications (e.g. gestational diabetes or preeclampsia) that raise long-term cardiac risk

• You want a proactive heart health check-up and personalised prevention plan

• You’re starting or changing hormone therapy and want a baseline cardiac assessment

Early detection and tailored care can make all the difference. A focused women’s heart health evaluation gives you clarity, confidence, and a clear plan to protect your heart — now and for the future.

What to Expect During Your Women’s Heart Health Appointment

We make the assessment process thorough, comfortable, and focused entirely on your individual needs. 

During your visit with one of our senior cardiologists, you can expect:

1. Detailed consultation and history review – We discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, family history, and female-specific risk factors such as menopause or pregnancy-related conditions.

2. Comprehensive physical examination – A targeted cardiovascular check tailored to women’s heart health.

3. On-site diagnostic testing – ECG, echocardiography, blood tests, or other investigations are performed as needed for a complete assessment.

4. Clear explanation of results – Your cardiologist will review all findings in plain, understandable language and answer your questions.

5. Personalised prevention or treatment plan – You’ll receive tailored recommendations for lifestyle changes, ongoing monitoring, or further care if needed.

Most patients leave their appointment with clear answers, actionable steps, and a renewed sense of confidence in their heart health.

Diagnostic Tests Used During Your Women’s Heart Health Assessment

Women’s cardiac symptoms can often differ from men’s — and subtle warning signs are sometimes missed in standard check-ups. That’s why we use advanced, on-site diagnostics designed to provide a complete picture of your heart health. Depending on your individual needs, your cardiologist may recommend:

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

• Echocardiography (Echo) – Ultrasound imaging to assess heart structure, pumping function, and valve performance.

• Exercise stress test – Evaluates how your heart responds to exertion, revealing potential circulation issues or coronary disease.

• Holter monitoring – Continuous ECG monitoring over 24–72 hours to detect rhythm disturbances that occur during daily activities.

• Blood tests – Check cholesterol, inflammation markers, and other key indicators of cardiovascular risk specific to women.

All results are reviewed and explained during your appointment, and your cardiologist will provide a clear plan tailored to your risk profile, symptoms, and goals.
