Buff Medical Resort – Advanced Cardiac Diagnostics & Preventive Care

At Buff Medical Resort, guests’ heart health is at the centre of medical interest. The latest generation of cardio-MRI is used, which goes far beyond the possibilities of conventional examination methods.

This innovative technology allows specialists to analyse heart health precisely, non-invasively and without radiation. The performance of the heart can be analysed down to the smallest detail – a decisive advantage for the early detection of risk factors and the development of preventive measures.

The advantages of this cutting-edge technology are manifold:

• Early detection: Heart disease, circulatory disorders or heart valve problems can be identified at a stage when they are not yet causing symptoms.
• Detailed analysis: Cardiac muscle movement, pumping performance and oxygen supply are assessed down to cellular level, providing a comprehensive picture of heart health.
• Individualised prevention: Based on the precise diagnoses, customised preventive measures and treatment approaches can be developed.
• Optimising fitness: The knowledge gained offers ideal support for athletes and health-conscious people who want to improve their physical performance.

Particularly noteworthy is the ability of cardio-MRI to recognise even the smallest structural changes in the heart muscle, so-called micro-scars, as well as the risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias. The three-dimensional analysis of the heart action also provides valuable information on the general health of the heart.

This enables Buff Medical Resort to determine the biological age of your heart and minimise the risks of heart disease.

The BuffMed Cardio Programme: Unique Cardiac Diagnostics Meets A Holistic Approach To Health

The BuffMed Cardio programme goes far beyond the usual internal cardiological diagnostics. In this three-NIGHT programme, guests undergo comprehensive and unique cardiac diagnostics that not only analyse the current condition of the heart, but also focus on preventive measures.

Thanks to the pioneering cardio-MRI, Buff's specialists are able to assess the performance and biological age of your heart in an unprecedented way. This in-depth diagnosis makes it possible to identify cardiological risks at an early stage and initiate appropriate measures.

What makes the BuffMed Cardio programme truly special is the combination of cutting-edge diagnostics with a holistic approach to prevention. The early detection of risk factors offers the opportunity to take preventive action by making lifestyle changes, improving metabolic, intestinal and digestive health and adapting nutrition and exercise programmes.

The programme is supplemented by other innovative processes, including

• Continuous blood pressure measurement
• Long-term rhythm and HRV measurement (up to 72 hours)
• Continuous blood glucose monitoring
• Echocardiography

• Short-term HRV (Heart Rate Variability) measurement
• Spiroergometry
• Long-term blood pressure measurement
• Long-term rhythm and HRV measurement
• Long-term blood glucose measurement

In addition to these medical examinations, the programme also includes soothing treatments such as a body salt peeling, an Abhyanga full-body massage, foot reflexology and – on doctor’s orders – the innovative high-altitude climate therapy, which offers further health benefits.

Heart Health Redefined

The cardiology department at the Buff Medical Resort under the direction of Dr Frank Hamann represents a new approach to heart diagnostics and prevention. The combination of cutting-edge technology and a holistic understanding of health not only analyses the current condition of the heart, but also lays the foundation for long-term heart health.

With the BuffMed Cardio programme, the resort offers a unique opportunity to comprehensively understand your own heart health and improve it through preventive measures – an important step on the way to a longer, healthier and more self-determined life.

As Dr Hamann aptly sums it up: ‘Here we have the opportunity to look into the deepest depths of the heart with a state-of-the-art cardio-MRI and provide our guests and patients with the best possible advice on their heart health.’
