High-tech diagnostics meets holistic heart health
At a time when cardiovascular disease is one of the most common health problems, the Buff Medical Resort on Lake Constance is breaking new ground in cardiological diagnostics and prevention. With a unique combination of state-of-the-art technology and a holistic health concept, the resort offers cardiac diagnostics at the highest level.
Dr Frank Hamann: Expert in heart health
‘For me personally, health means staying active every day, paying attention to my eating habits, not getting too stressed and enjoying life.’ With these words, Dr Frank Hamann, internist and cardiologist and head of the cardiology department at the Buff Medical Resort, describes his own health philosophy.
For him, the resort offers a ‘fantastic opportunity to go beyond conventional medicine and take cardiological diagnostics to the next level with the help of a holistic health concept.’ The centrepiece of this cutting-edge diagnostics is a state-of-the-art cardio-MRI, which provides in-depth insights into the structure and function of the heart.

The latest generation of cardio MRI:
A look into the heart like never before
At the 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 us to determine the biological age of your heart and minimise the risks of heart disease,’ say the experts at Buff Medical Resort.
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-day 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, our specialists are able to assess the performance and biological age of your heart in an unprecedented way,’ explains the resort. 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 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
