ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Heart Centre at Rigshospitalet offers clinical and advanced residency programs for cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, anaesthesia, vascular surgery and infectious medicine and research. The large number and complexity of patients at the Heart Centre provides an ideal learning environment for specialized cardiovascular care. In 2022, the Heart Centre physicians completed more than 8000 interventional or diagnostic cardiac catheterisation procedures and performed approximately 1800 open-heart operations. These numbers, and the outcome based on the numerous procedures used to treat different types of heart disease distinguishes the Heart Centre from other institutions in Denmark.
