Praxis Für Kardiologie

What Praxis Für Kardiologie does

Praxis für Kardiologie is an independent outpatient cardiology practice (Facharztpraxis) founded in January 2019 by Dr. med. Stephan Koch and headquartered in Eutin, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It operates as a dual-track Kassenarztpraxis (statutory health insurance) and Privatpraxis, with three board-certified specialists in Internal Medicine and Cardiology providing comprehensive non-invasive diagnostics (resting and stress ECG, Holter and event monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, carotid and peripheral Doppler, spiro-ergometry) and invasive cardiology (cardiac catheterization, PTCA, stent implantation, PFO/ASD closure) at partner hospital Sana Klinik Eutin. The practice maintains a second location in Timmendorfer Strand on the Baltic Sea coast, serving patients across the Ostholstein district including Eutin, Timmendorfer Strand, and Fehmarn.

The underlying technology consists of standard cardiology diagnostic and therapeutic equipment — ECG machines, echocardiography systems, stress testing devices, long-term monitoring systems, and access to the Sana Klinik Eutin cardiac catheterization laboratory — supported by a basic WordPress website with Google Maps integration. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML capability, and no API exposure; clinical operations are entirely physician- and equipment-driven.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) statutory health insurance (GKV) reimbursement for cardiology services under the EBM catalogue, (2) private patient billing under the GOÄ fee schedule, and (3) preventive care and screening services (including Manager-Check-ups) targeted at privately insured and self-paying risk-group patients. Customer acquisition is primarily organic — Google Maps/local SEO, physician referral networks via Ärztenetz Eutin-Malente, and hospital referral partnerships — with no paid marketing or sales infrastructure. The practice holds DIN EN ISO quality management certification and is a member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie (DGK), the Bundesverband Niedergelassener Kardiologen (BNK), and the local Eutin-Malente physician network.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• SYNLAB: Europe's largest medical diagnostics provider with cardiology-relevant lab and non-invasive testing services. Comparable as an adjacent ambulatory diagnostics player that increasingly bundles cardiac screening (ECG, Holter, lab biomarkers) into primary-care channels the practice relies on for referrals.

Broad incumbents

• MediClin: German hospital operator with cardiology and rehabilitation service lines. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping cardiac diagnostics and post-acute cardiac care, particularly relevant to the practice's rehabilitation-adjacent patient flow.
• Asklepios Kliniken: Major German hospital group with broad cardiology service lines and academic teaching hospital affiliations. Comparable as a large incumbent inpatient cardiology provider operating in the same northern German catchment and competing for the same referring primary-care physicians and complex-case referrals.
• Sana Kliniken: Hospital group that operates the cath lab (Sana Klinik Eutin) where Praxis für Kardiologie performs its interventional procedures. Comparable as both a partner and competitor — Sana employs its own cardiologists and could in theory disintermediate the practice's invasive line.
• Schön Klinik: Specialty hospital operator with a dedicated cardiac center at Schön Klinik Neustadt in the same Schleswig-Holstein region. Comparable as a hospital partner for complex referrals and a competing cardiology provider in the immediate geographic catchment.
• Helios Kliniken: Germany's largest private hospital operator with extensive cardiology departments across its inpatient network. Comparable because it represents a much larger, established provider of cardiac catheterization and interventional cardiology that competes for the same hospital partner relationships and tertiary referrals in northern Germany.
• Medicover: European outpatient healthcare and diagnostics operator with cardiology service lines in Germany. Comparable as a multi-site ambulatory cardiology/diagnostics provider pursuing the same hub-and-spoke model in the private-payor segment.
• UKSH (Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein): University medical center with the highest-acuity cardiology and cardiac surgery program in Schleswig-Holstein. Comparable as a tertiary referral destination and academic affiliate that captures the most complex cases the practice cannot handle itself.

Direct peers

• Herz- und Gefäßzentrum (HGZ): Network of cardiac and vascular diagnostic centers in Germany offering outpatient cardiology including echo, stress testing, and device follow-up. Comparable as a directly competing ambulatory cardiology provider with a multi-site footprint and similar GKV/private mix.
• Cardiologicum Hamburg: Group cardiology practice in Hamburg offering outpatient cardiology diagnostics and interventional cardiology. Comparable as a Facharztpraxis-style multi-physician cardiology group practicing the same dual Kassenarzt/Privatpraxis model with cath-lab hospital partnerships.
