Cardiology for women · Munich

Women's hearts beat differently.

Cardiology, designed for women.

Heart disease often presents differently in women than in men – and is therefore frequently recognised later. We take these signs seriously: echocardiography and ECG with state-of-the-art equipment – and, when needed, cardiac CT and stress MRI. All in one place, in a single visit.

Private patients & self-payers · appointments usually at short notice – emergencies accommodated – call us

Important: Sudden, severe chest pain – especially with shortness of breath, cold sweat or pain radiating into the arm, neck or upper abdomen – can be a heart attack. Please call the emergency services on 112 immediately.

Diagnostics that do justice to the female heart

ECG and echocardiography as the basis – and, when needed, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI as the logical extension. For the female heart this is crucial: impaired blood flow in the smallest coronary vessels often remains invisible in standard examinations and even in cardiac CT or catheterisation – stress MRI makes it visible.

Echocardiography

Ultrasound of the beating heart – with the latest equipment, pumping function, heart valves and blood flow are made visible in high image quality. Important to know: standard methods often only respond once heart disease is advanced – if symptoms persist despite normal findings, we get to the bottom of the cause with cardiac CT and cardiac MRI.

  • High-resolution imaging of heart muscle and heart valves (leakage and possible pathological deposits)
  • Colour Doppler to assess blood flow
  • Gentle and without radiation exposure

ECG diagnostics

The heart's electrical activity – captured digitally in diagnostic quality and evaluated by a specialist, at rest and under stress. If symptoms and findings do not match, further examinations follow: cardiac CT – with the best available equipment in our practice – and cardiac MRI.

  • Fully digital, high-resolution recording
  • Resting and exercise ECG as needed
  • Directly linked with echo, CT and MRI

Cardiac CT

When needed, the coronary arteries shown in fine resolution – modern CT technology reveals deposits long before they become noticeable.

  • Direct imaging of the coronary arteries
  • Modern dual-source technology with minimal dose
  • Examination in a few seconds

Cardiac MRI

Heart muscle and perfusion assessed without radiation – at rest and under stress. For the female heart often the decisive examination: it reveals impaired blood flow in the smallest vessels that neither cardiac CT nor catheterisation can show.

  • Perfusion at rest and under stress
  • Detects microvascular perfusion disorders (INOCA)
  • Without radiation – together with the cardiologist

How it works

Three steps to certainty

Choose an appointment

Online or by phone – you receive an appointment that suits your concern promptly.

The examination

Echocardiography and ECG, and if needed cardiac CT or cardiac MRI – in a calm atmosphere, performed by experienced specialists from cardiology and radiology.

Findings & consultation

Your results are explained in an understandable way – including a clear recommendation for the next steps.

Why our practice

We know the differences

Even with impaired blood flow to the heart – long before a heart attack – symptoms in women often differ from those in men: instead of the classic chest pain, unusual exhaustion, nausea, shortness of breath, pain in the back, jaw or upper abdomen. We take such symptoms seriously and keep an eye on the risk factors that specifically affect women: the hormonal changes of menopause, previous pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes, autoimmune diseases – alongside high blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, diabetes, family history and smoking.

Cardiology meets radiology

Function, rhythm and vessels in a single visit: ECG, echo, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI come together in the same corridor – with modern CT technology that images the coronary vessels on the best technical basis.

Time that matters

Short appointment times and prompt clarification of symptoms and findings – so that questions are quickly followed by answers.

Personally cared for

You speak with a cardiologist (Ms A. Todorovska, specialist in internal medicine & cardiology) – not with an anonymous office.

“Many women tell me: ‘I went for a heart check-up – nothing was found. I was told: there is nothing wrong with you! But the symptoms are still there.’ This is not a contradiction: in the female heart, the disease often sits in the smallest vessels, hidden from standard examinations. It only becomes visible with functional imaging – stress MRI. No one should be sent home with serious symptoms just because the standard examination was normal.” — Dr. Dr. Georg-Friedemann Rust

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death among women in Germany – ahead of breast cancer: a good third of all deaths in women are due to it, while about one in eight women develops breast cancer in her lifetime.¹ Yet heart attacks in women are on average recognised and treated later than in men: symptoms are often atypical, and common examinations such as the exercise ECG are less conclusive in women.² In around half of all women with angina-type symptoms, cardiac catheterisation shows no relevant narrowing – the cause then often lies in a disease of the smallest coronary vessels (microvascular dysfunction), which only becomes visible with functional imaging such as stress MRI.³ The European guideline therefore recommends investigating such symptoms without obstruction (ANOCA/INOCA) further in a targeted way rather than letting them rest.⁴ In addition, in 2026 a large imaging study found that atherosclerosis – deposits that narrow the coronary arteries (= CAD = coronary artery disease) – in women rises steeply especially from midlife onwards – around the menopause – and is often underestimated by conventional risk calculators.⁸ Whether and which examination makes sense in your case is something we clarify together, based on your personal risk profile.
