Jena, June 5, 2026 – The Universitätsklinikum Jena (UKJ) is hosting a free, interdisciplinary patient lecture next Wednesday on the early detection of heart disease. Experts will demonstrate how modern diagnostics can help assess individual heart attack risk in time and implement preventive measures.
- Event: Patient Lecture „Identifying Heart Attack Risk“
- Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
- Time: 7:00 PM
- Location: Universitätsklinikum Jena, Lobeda, Hörsaal 1
- Admission: Free of charge
Focus on Prevention: Detecting Vascular Changes Early
A heart attack often announces itself gradually. Deposits in the coronary arteries, which grow unnoticed over years, are frequently the cause. This makes effective prevention all the more important. At the upcoming patient lecture, physicians from the Radiology and Cardiology departments of the UKJ will explain how dangerous vascular changes can be identified early.
The significant value of the event lies in practical education for laypeople: Visitors will learn directly from Jena hospital doctors which warning signals from the body must be taken seriously. Furthermore, it will be shown how identified risks can be effectively reduced through targeted medication therapy or lifestyle adjustments before an acute medical emergency occurs.

🛡️ Prevention & Guide: The Importance of Coronary CT
Modern coronary computed tomography (coronary CT) has revolutionized cardiac diagnostics. As a fast and non-invasive imaging procedure, it allows for a detailed visualization of the coronary arteries without the use of a minimally invasive heart catheter. Using high-resolution images, doctors can visualize both hard calcifications and so-called „soft,“ not yet calcified plaques directly in the vessel walls.
The decisive advantage for prevention: The examination provides precise information about the condition of the vessels long before classic symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest tightness occur. This allows the individual risk of a heart attack to be precisely quantified and a tailored prevention strategy to be initiated.
