Personal statement / motivation
"Heart and sport" - for me, this not only expresses the combination of my professional qualifications and my passion for medicine and life. For me, cardiology and sports medicine are also inextricably linked when it comes to the human organism and all clinical pictures in cardiovascular medicine. Exercise is one of the most important factors for health, both preventively and in the case of existing illnesses. I examine, advise and care for athletes and patients from all areas: from top athletes and recreational athletes to people with and without heart disease who want to exercise regularly.
As the legendary football coach Sepp Herberger once said: "After the game is before the game. The ball is round and a game lasts 90 minutes". My team at the Hirslanden Heart Centre and I are there for you: "Before the game, during the game and after the game".
