European Reference Center Cardiology in Essen, GermanyContilia Heart and Vascular Center

The partnership between the Contilia Heart and Vascular Center and Siemens Healthcare is based on a mutual commitment to integrate advanced medical technology systems into clinical cardiology routines in order to achieve the best possible care for all patients. The purpose of the collaboration is to improve clinical workflows and promote innovative treatment concepts in noninvasive and invasive cardiology – for example, through the comprehensive use of cardiac MRI, minimally invasive valvular interventions, and the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Now the Contilia Heart and Vascular Center and Siemens Healthcare are strengthening their joint activities in a strategic partnership by establishing the Siemens European Reference Center Cardiology.

 

The partners will facilitate knowledge-sharing during clinical trainings and fellowships as well as through an exchange of expertise during clinical workflow visits. They will strive to perfect efficient clinical processes by integrating multimodality imaging in diagnostic workflows and ensuring sound decisions and safe procedures in clinical routines.
