01 / Collaborations
Cardiology, mobile health checks and specialist imaging complement one another in our medical network.
The private cardiology practice complements EPC’s corporate check-ups with individual diagnostics and preventive care. Services are billed under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) for privately insured and self-paying patients.

Prof. Nixdorff co-founded Hanako. Mobile medical teams bring digitally organised, modular health checks based on EPC’s experience to companies throughout Germany.
Explore collaboration
At the Interdisciplinary Cardiac Imaging Center (IC)², Prof. Nixdorff collaborates with radiology and nuclear medicine colleagues from MVZ radios GmbH at the Medical Center Düsseldorf. CT, 3-Tesla MRI and D-SPECT complement cardiac diagnostics according to the clinical question.
Explore collaboration
The collaboration with geneticist Prof. K. Nayernia connects molecular and genetic methods with clinical preventive medicine. Genotype and phenotype are considered together to assess individual predispositions medically.
