When the heart skips a beat, a closer look is worthwhile.

When the heart falls out of rhythm – clarified with precision.
Heart palpitations are often harmless – but sometimes they are the first sign of atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder, which, if left untreated, increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. And the dangerous rhythm disorders arise in the great majority of cases on the basis of coronary artery disease (CAD – the gradual clogging of the coronary arteries by calcification). Using ECG, long-term (Holter) ECG, echocardiography and – if necessary – cardiac MRI and cardiac CT, we clarify the cause and significance of your symptoms and rule out coronary artery disease. All in one place, evaluated by experienced specialists.
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.
If you feel skipped beats, fluttering or a sudden racing heart, we use ECG and long-term ECG to clarify whether harmless extrasystoles or an arrhythmia requiring treatment lies behind it.
Atrial fibrillation often goes unnoticed but markedly increases the risk of stroke. Especially with high blood pressure, after the age of 65 or with a family history, a targeted assessment is worthwhile.
Reliably classifying an arrhythmia means two things: recording it at the right moment – and determining whether an underlying heart disease is involved, not infrequently coronary artery disease (CAD). Precisely the most dangerous form, sudden cardiac death, is attributable to CAD in more than three quarters of cases; it should therefore be specifically ruled out – for example with cardiac CT. We bring both together under one roof.
The resting ECG captures the moment; the long-term ECG records even rare episodes over hours to days – so the arrhythmia is documented when it occurs.
The cardiac ultrasound shows whether a structural heart disease – such as a valve or pumping weakness – underlies the arrhythmia.
The cardiac MRI depicts the heart muscle without radiation and reveals scarring or inflammation that can trigger arrhythmias.
When a coronary cause is suspected, cardiac CT images the coronary arteries directly – non-invasively and without a catheter.

Heart palpitations are among the most common reasons people have their heart examined – usually something harmless is behind them, such as isolated extrasystoles. Yet two things make rhythm diagnostics important. First, atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia: in Germany it affects an estimated more than one million people, often remains unnoticed for a long time, increases the risk of stroke roughly fivefold – about one in five strokes is attributable to it – and is associated with increased mortality.¹ ² Second, the cause: precisely the threatening arrhythmias arise, by far predominantly, on the basis of a narrowing of the coronary arteries by deposits (= CAD = coronary artery disease) – in sudden cardiac death it is the cause in more than three quarters of cases.³ How often such coronary artery disease remains silent for a long time was shown by the REACT study in 2026: in around 57 % of symptom-free adults, vascular deposits were already found.⁸ This is exactly where we come in: ECG and long-term (Holter) ECG document the arrhythmia, echocardiography shows pump function and valves, cardiac MRI makes scarring or inflammation of the heart muscle visible without radiation,⁴ and cardiac CT non-invasively rules out a coronary cause.⁵ Whether and which examination is appropriate in your case we clarify together, based on your individual risk profile.
