Mission statement

Heartbeat is fast becoming one of the leaders in the field of extracorporeal circulation in Europe. With dedicated and knowledgeable teams in our centres our main goal is to excel in patient care.

Heartbeat offers a full spectrum of extracorporeal circulation techniques: general heart surgery, thoracic vascular surgery, pediatric heart surgery, heart and lung assist device program, heart and lung transplants, hyperthermic chemotherapy and an extensive range of blood management techniques.

With the above programs spearheading our organisation, we are moving even closer to our objectives and the improvement of existing competence in our research and development programs with new systems such as mini bypass, a hybride system, the artificial heart and autologous platelet gel and glue techniques.

Call to action

Quality and accreditation

We are submitting ourselves to the reaccreditation programs of both the Dutch Society of ExtraCorporeal Circulation (NeSECC) and the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusionists (EBCP). The partners are committed to continual professional development and therefore, attend many meetings, courses and seminars to keep abreast of the latest research and techniques.
