What we measure - innovative longevity diagnostics
In order to precisely analyze your biological potential and your individual risks, we offer a range of innovative tests.
| Field of investigation | Method | Benefits and knowledge |
| Biological age | Horvath epigenetic clock | Objective determination of your biological age compared to your calendar age. |
| Cell health | Telomere analysis | Analysis of the cellular regeneration potential and the speed of cell aging. |
| Cardiovascular risk | Vascular age measurement | Early risk detection for cardiovascular diseases by measuring arterial stiffness. |
| Energy status | Analysis of mitochondrial function | Assessment of energy production at cell level and detection of energy deficits. |
| Stress and recovery | Heart rate variability analysis (HRV) | Detailed measurement of your stress level and the ability of the autonomic nervous system to recover. |
| Fitness and endurance | Performance diagnostics on the ergometer | Objective measurement of current physical fitness, endurance and determination of optimal training zones. |
| Gastrointestinal health | Microbiome analysis | Status analysis of your intestinal flora and detection of silent inflammation in the intestine. |
| Environmental impact | Heavy metal analysis | Detection of toxic stress in the body in order to be able to treat it in a targeted manner. |
Biological age (method: Horvath epigenetic clock)
The Horvath epigenetics clock is used to objectively determine your biological age. This measurement is a crucial tool for determining whether your body is ageing faster or slower than your calendar age.
Cell health (method: telomere analysis)
The Telomere analysis enables your specialist to analyze the cellular regeneration potential. This method provides information about the speed of cell ageing and your body's ability to recover.
Cardiovascular risk (method: vascular age measurement)
The Vascular age measurement is used for early risk detection for cardiovascular diseases. By measuring arterial stiffness, precise statements can be made about the condition of your blood vessels.
Energy status (method: analysis of mitochondrial function)
With the help of the Analysis of mitochondrial function energy production is assessed at cell level. This is crucial for detecting energy deficits and optimizing your vital performance.
Stress and recovery (method: heart rate variability analysis - HRV)
The Heart rate variability analysis (HRV) offers a detailed measurement of your current stress level. This allows the recovery capacity of the autonomic nervous system to be assessed objectively.
Fitness and endurance (method: performance diagnostics on the ergometer)
The Performance diagnostics on the ergometer provides an objective measurement of your current physical fitness and endurance. This data can be used to determine optimal and heart-healthy training zones.
Gastrointestinal health (method: microbiome analysis)
The Microbiome analysis enables a status analysis of your intestinal flora. This is relevant for the detection of silent inflammation in the intestine and the targeted control of nutrient absorption.
Environmental pollution (method: heavy metal analysis)
Through the Heavy metal analysis toxic stress in the body can be detected. The aim is to precisely identify these stresses and then treat them in a targeted manner.
The Hallmarks of Ageing: Biological characteristics of ageing
Modern research has shown that biological ageing is controlled by various cellular and molecular mechanisms - the so-called „Hallmarks of Ageing“. These processes not only contribute to skin ageing, but are also directly linked to cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders and mental decline.
Your longevity specialist will measure these key factors to determine your biological aging process objectively and derive therapeutic strategies:
Cellular markers: Damage to the DNA and shortened Telomeres (the „protective caps“ of our chromosomes) as indicators of cellular regeneration potential.
Metabolism and inflammation: Chronic inflammation and changes in the Microbiome (intestinal flora) as indicators of silent inflammation and metabolic disorders.
Vascular and circulatory health: Increasing stiffness of the blood vessels, which is a direct sign of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiology Düsseldorf - Overview
Frequently asked questions about longevity medicine
Early clarification of symptoms or risk factors is the key to long-term heart health. Our cardiology practice in Düsseldorf offers you the right specialized care for every need.
Longevity medicine aims to improve the healthy years of life (Healthspan) instead of just treating diseases. In contrast to conventional screening, it focuses on molecular and cellular markers (Hallmarks of Ageing) to objectively measure and actively slow down the biological ageing process.
The biological age is determined using the Horvath epigenetic clock a state-of-the-art procedure. Epigenetics analyzes chemical changes in DNA (methylation) that indicate how quickly your cells age compared to your chronological age.
The HRV analysis measures the variability of heartbeats and is a precise indicator of the function of your autonomic nervous system. It provides information about your current stress level, the quality of your recovery and your inner balance - all decisive factors for longevity.
The Analysis of mitochondrial function identifies how efficiently your cells produce energy, while the Microbiome analysis detects chronic inflammation in the intestines. By optimizing these two areas, energy deficits can be eliminated and vitality increased in a targeted manner.
Your cardiologist (PD Dr. Bruno) plays a central role, as cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death. Through procedures such as the Vascular age measurement he combines the most advanced cardiac prevention with molecular data to provide a truly sound, personalized longevity plan to create.
Innovative and comprehensive diagnostics (e.g. epigenetic clock, microbiome analysis) are not usually covered by statutory health insurance. We offer these Precision medicine as a self-pay service, as we are convinced that investing in this far-reaching preventive measure will make a significant contribution to extending your healthy lifespan.
