As a Team we are here for You!
With us, your heart and you always come first! We specialize in patients with cardiac arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation. With us, you can be sure that you and your heart health are the focus of your treatment at all times!
With us, everything revolves around your heart and the heart rhythm. Our core competence lies in the treatment atrial fibrillation, such as may occur in previously treated patients after one or more catheter ablations. However, patients for whom such catheter ablation is not an option also benefit from our new treatment concept. From diagnosis to treatment (surgery), you are in the right place with us.
In our center we offer the full spectrum of modern cardiology. We also perform invasive procedures and operations in our new hybrid operating room. Aftercare following surgery is provided by a team of highly specialized physicians and nurses. If inpatient treatment is necessary, we can refer to the private Hirslanden Clinic (Dr. Zerm), the Stadtspital Triemli or the Klinik Pyramide, where we practice freely as affiliated physicians. This is to ensure a very personal and high quality, exceptional treatment.

Passion, Experience and Expertise
Prof. Salzberg is internationally acclaimed for his experience in the field of surgical atrial fibrillation ablations. This was the impetus to found Swiss Ablation. His longtime mentor Dr. Wim-Jan van Boven (PhD) from Amsterdam, the man behind minimally invasive surgical methods, is his surgical partner. Together they have been operating for over 10 years with excellent results and many satisfied patients. The specialized electrophysiologist, Dr. Thomas Zerm is a very experienced cardiologist, and leads one of the largest electrophysiology centers in Hamburg. He participates in all our HearTeam conferences, where all patients are discussed together and it is decided which therapy will be applied - similar to a tumor board.
We are a small team which has been working together for a longtime and have a very broad experience. With little bureaucracy and in direct cooperation with our referring physicians, we can determine the optimal treatment for all patients (irrespective of the insurance class) individually and hold us to a very high standard. We look forward to hearing from you. Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
