Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC)

As a strategically and operationally independent unit, it is one of the leading heart centres in Europe.

The DHZC is located at Charité's three clinical campuses at Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Campus Charité Mitte and Campus Benjamin Franklin. It comprises a total of seven departments and one institute.

With 474 beds, around 20,000 inpatients per year and 2,100 employees, the DHZC is one of the largest heart centres in Europe. In interdisciplinary and interprofessional, highly specialised teams, we treat patients of all ages with cardiovascular diseases of all degrees of severity - around the clock.

We operate the world's largest artificial heart programme in terms of case numbers and are one of the leading German centres for heart and lung transplantation. The Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité is also an international leader in the treatment of complex congenital heart defects, particularly in newborns and infants. In the catheter-based treatment of heart valve diseases, we combine our surgical and cardiological expertise in interdisciplinary heart teams.

We are committed to the continuous progress of cardiovascular medicine through intensive research and teaching.
