Research

The fields of cardiology and cardiac surgery very much depend on the development of new treatment methods that involve the latest in innovative medical technologies. Research and continued professional development therefore form an important part of the Brandenburg Heart Center's remit.

Researching innovative treatment concepts

We believe that an active involvement in research is a fundamental prerequisite if we are to continue to offer the latest treatment methods to our patients, if our members of staff are to keep up-to-date with developments and knowledge in their fields and if we are to play an integral part in shaping the future of our field of expertise. Research is the only way for us to remain relevant and equal partners to our colleagues from academia, and allows us to offer many of our patients an improved level of individualized care and support, as well as better monitoring and treatment.

Registries for evaluating outcomes

Registries collate anonymized data on different treatment methods (e.g. the use of stents, pacemakers and ICDs, ablation procedures, etc.) from hospitals across Germany and beyond. This allows us to compare our own performance with that of others, and ensures that we continue to produce work of the highest standard.

Research collaborations

The Brandenburg Heart Center is the leading research hospital in the Federal State of Brandenburg, and is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and other funding bodies. The Brandenburg Heart Center collaborates with different renowned research institutions, both within Germany and abroad. We have an ongoing program of research aimed at developing new clinical procedures and regularly present our work at a large number of national and international meetings, as well as publishing our research in national and international journals. As a result, we are able to offer the latest treatment methods as well as more established ones.

Academic teaching commitments

As a teaching hospital, we are committed to the provision of medical training, and this forms an important part of our work. We work closely with universities and other higher education institutions to ensure that our members of staff are able to share their extensive experience and expertise with other physicians, nursing and care staff and students pursuing a career in medicine or other healthcare occupations.
