It is unfortunately true: heart disease is the number one cause of death. And they can affect any one of us, even without belonging to a risk group. The first good news: a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk. The second good news is that, if the worst comes to the worst, we all benefit from medical progress. Help can be provided better and better and with less and less stressful procedures.

ProCordis sees its central task in advancing theoretical approaches to cardiac surgery research - and in making the practical results available to the general public.
To this end, we support research projects. We enable foreign guest scientists and especially young surgeons to develop their skills in research and teaching. In addition, we regard the further training of young cardiac surgeons as our main task.
