Focusing on the Individual with Great Experience

Prof. Johannes Waltenberger, MD, is a highly experienced international clinical and interventional cardiologist who has worked for over three decades in cutting-edge university medicine, research, practice and teaching in the Netherlands (Maastricht), Sweden (Uppsala) and Germany (Heidelberg, Ulm, Münster).

Prof. Waltenberger is also a pioneer in molecular cardiology. Thanks to his profound expertise, he is able to evaluate current research results and new scientific findings and to provide you as a patient with meaningful innovations and beneficial forms of therapy.

Patient Self-Determination is the Focus

Decisions about diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be made together, gladly in the presence of your partner, a close relative or another trusted person. Ethical standards in diagnostics and therapy form the solid basis of individual and patient-centred cardiology.

Prof. Johannes Waltenberger has additional qualifications such as sports cardiology and intensive care medicine. He is available to our patients in German, English, Dutch and Swedish.

You will find a good insight into the career and diverse competences of Prof. Johannes Waltenberger, which are thus available to you at our Heart Centre, in the following two articles and in the tabs below.
