J\u00f6rg Otto Schwab diagnoses and treats disorders of the cardiovascular system. One area of focus is the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including telemonitoring (remote diagnostics and monitoring), as well as their catheter-directed treatment (ablation). In addition, the experienced cardiologist implants cardiac pacemakers as well as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and he carries out patient aftercare. If necessary, Prof. Schwab makes use of magnetic resonance imaging for diagnostic purposes; the technology is also used for special, functional examinations of the heart. A unique feature of his treatment is his close cooperation with the Beta Klinik radiology department, which makes extensive MRI examinations possible for patients with cardiac pacemakers or ICDs.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"sty_image sty_articleImage d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"position:

If it is not possible to document palpitations of the heart this way, a 24-hour ECG is the next diagnostic step.<\/p><p>In case the 24-hour ECG does not provide any information about cardiac arrhythmia, it is possible to examine your heart very thoroughly over a period of several months by implanting miniature sensors. Such a miniature sensor weighs only 2.5 g (0.07 oz.), has a volume of 1.2 ccm (0.04 fl. oz.) and is implanted under your skin above the heart under local anesthesia. Patients who underwent this surgery, did not feel its presence afterwards. The data collected by the sensor can be transmitted to our department via a modern telemedicine transmission (MyCareLinkTM) no matter if you are at home or on the road. We can then react quickly and initiate further steps in case of any signs of cardiac arrhythmia.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Treatment cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)<\/h3><p>If you are suffering from a special form of cardiac arrhythmia, the supraventricular tachycardia, e. g., atrioventricular (AV) nodes, re-entry tachycardia or focal atrial tachycardia, pharmacotherapy (use of medication) is secondary. The best therapy option is the so-called catheter ablation.<\/p><p>Catheter ablation can also help curing atrial flutter.<\/p><p>In case of palpitations caused by premature ventricular contractions (PVC, additional heartbeats originating from ventricles), catheter ablation is also the best treatment option.<\/p><p>In rare cases, e. g., additional heartbeats originating from an anatomically unfavorable position, the treatment with specific heart medication is indicated.<\/p><p>Since the treatment of atrial fibrillation is quite complex, comprehensive consultation is necessary to decide on either pharmacotherapy or catheter ablation.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>        <div class=\"sty_pb_e\">\n            <div class='elementor-button-wrapper '>\n                                    <a class='elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm  s4_alternateButtonType_1 primary-button-bg' href=\"https:\/\/www.betaklinik.de\/en\/contact\/\" id=\"\">\n                        <span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\" style=\"flex-direction: row-reverse; gap: 15px;\">\n                            <span class=\"elementor-button-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Beta_Klinik_Arrow_Right.svg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 1em; height: 1em; display: inline-block;\" \/><\/span>                            <span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact us<\/span>\n                        <\/span>\n                    <\/a>\n                \n                \n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8e50e7 s4_changeOrder elementor-widget elementor-widget-s4_image_text_module\" data-id=\"d8e50e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"s4_image_text_module.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<section class=\"sty_moduleWrapper \n     has-text-overflow\"\n    data-sticky-scroll=\"\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\" align-items-center  row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-6 me-auto sty_image \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sty_image sty_articleImage straggy-image-text-module__image d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Kardiologie-beta-bonn-scaled.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" alt=\"Kardiologe Dr. Schwab im Patientengespr\u00e4ch an der Beta Klinik Bonn\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-5  sty_text_content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sty_pb_d sty_txt sty_titleFontColor sty_fontFamilyTitle\" style=\"display:block;\">Coronary artery disease (CAD)<\/h2><div class=\"sty_pb_e sty_txt sty_fontColor sty_fontFamily\"><div id=\"content\" class=\"content\" role=\"main\"><div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The coronary artery disease (CAD) is a circulatory disorder of the heart muscle.
