Our heart is approximately the size of a fist, located in the center of our chest, and consists of two atria and two chambers. It is made of muscles that rhythmically contract and relax, allowing oxygen-rich blood to be pumped into the body and oxygen-poor blood to be transported to the lungs. In an average lifetime, a person's heart beats about 2.5 billion times, which corresponds to about 60 to 100 beats per minute.

The chief cardiologist of the Schwarzwald-Baar Clinic, Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ewen, will discuss heart and circulatory diseases in his live lecture as part of the event series story VS. The diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases usually occurs through a medical history and physical examination, as well as an ECG, echocardiography, cardiac MRI/CT, or cardiac catheter examination.

In Germany, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death. Consequently, prevention plays an important role in cardiology to minimize the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. This includes among other things a healthy diet, regular physical activity, avoidance of smoking, control of hypertension, cholesterol, and diabetes, as well as regular check-ups. However, lifestyle-modifying measures alone are often not sufficient, so additional medication therapy is required.

Interventional cardiology, which Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ewen will address in his medically informative live lecture, offers treatment options for narrowing of the coronary arteries, heart valve diseases, or arrhythmias. With the help of this minimally invasive therapy, the symptoms and life expectancy of patients with heart diseases can be significantly improved.
