We offer follow-up rehabilitation at METTNAU for the diseases or measures listed below:
Diseases of the heart and circulatory system
- after an acute heart attack (known as STEMI, NSTEMI)
- coronary heart disease without an acute heart attack – following a complicated, mostly unstable history and to control the acute situation,
- after elective balloon angioplasty or stenting (PTCA/PCI) of the coronary vessels if a distinct risk profile and specific training needs are present,
- after coronary bypass surgery,
- after cardiac valve surgery (correction, reconstruction, replacement),
- after surgical correction of congenital heart defects,
- in cardiomyopathy (heart muscle diseases), especially after acute deterioration or complications,
- in severe heart failure (congestive heart failure) to control the acute situation,
- in inflammatory heart disease (myocardial or pericardial inflammation)
- after pulmonary embolisms
- after treatment of severe cardiac arrhythmia and implantation of pacemakers or defibrillators.
Diseases of the arterial vessels (angiology):
- atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries (peripheral arterial, occlusive disease) after distention of vessels (PTA) with or without stenting, especially with a strong risk factor profile and particular training needs,
- after operations of the arterial vascular system as bypass or aneurysm surgery,
- operations of the cerebral arteries after approval in individual cases, especially if the intervention was performed in combination with cardiac surgery.
