Specialist Cardiovascular Clinic at the International Medical Specialist Centre Frankfurt am Main

Arshak Asefi, M.D. – Your Cardiovascular Consultant in Frankfurt City Centre.
The cardiovascular system constitutes a fascinating and essential network that sustains physiological function. At the International Medical Specialist Centre, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalised therapeutic interventions for optimal cardiovascular health.
The heart functions continuously as a mechanical pump, supplying oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Pathologies of this system may manifest as diverse symptomatology including dyspnoea, thoracic discomfort, vertigo, or tachycardia. Early diagnosis and targeted intervention are crucial determinants of health outcomes and quality of life.

Clinical Indications for Cardiological Consultation

A specialist consultation is recommended if you experience the following symptoms:

• Recurrent palpitations or cardiac arrhythmias
• Thoracic constriction or pain
• Dyspnoea during exertion or at rest
• Vertigo or syncopal episodes
• Hypertension or other cardiovascular risk factors
• Decreased exercise tolerance and fatigue
• Requirements for lifestyle modification and initiation of physical activity

Early clinical evaluation may prevent significant morbidity and help maintain functional capacity.

Our Cardiovascular Diagnostic Methodology – Precision for Clinical Certainty

We utilize advanced non-invasive investigational techniques for accurate diagnosis and expedient results:

• Resting Electrocardiogram & Exercise Stress Testing (Ergometry)
• Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Monitoring (24 hours to 7 days)
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (24 hours to 7 days)
• Heart Rate Variability Analysis (for stress assessment)
• Three-Dimensional/Four-Dimensional Echocardiography (Dynamic Heart Model)
• Dynamic Stress Echocardiography
• Ultrasonographic Examination of Carotid Vessels and Abdominal Aorta
• Ultrasonographic Examination of Pelvic and Lower Extremity Vasculature

Through advanced computational diagnostics, we ensure comprehensive analysis of your cardiovascular status.

Therapeutic Approach – Individualised & Sustainable

Many cardiovascular disorders can be managed conservatively. Our therapeutic services include:

• Antihypertensive Therapy and Lipid Management
• Management of Cardiac Insufficiency
• Pharmacological Control of Cardiac Arrhythmias (e.g., Atrial Fibrillation) including Anticoagulation
• Comprehensive Consultation regarding Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Stress Management
• Post-Myocardial Infarction Follow-up and Monitoring of Cardiac Function following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
• Management of Myocarditis and Pericarditis

When clinically indicated, we provide direct referrals to renowned cardiac centres for advanced diagnostic modalities such as Cardiac Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging or invasive procedures (e.g., Cardiac Catheterisation, Electrophysiological Interventions).
