Dr med. Dennis Dietrich (Dr. med. Dennis Dietrich) is the chief physician of the department of neurology and head of vascular neurology and neurological intensive care at Munich Hospital Harlaching in Munich. Patients come to him above all with stroke and its consequences, and when damage to the brain has to be watched over in an intensive care unit.
Where the doctor practises and what they do
He practises in Munich and is responsible for the vascular side of neurology, that is for illnesses caused by a disturbed blood supply to the brain. The core of his work is stroke care: rapid assessment, determining the type of stroke (a blocked vessel or a bleed) and choosing the treatment in the first hours, when every minute counts. He also looks after patients in neurological intensive care, with severe disturbances of consciousness, status epilepticus, brain swelling or breathing failure caused by a neurological illness.
His second field is ultrasound diagnosis. With it he assesses the vessels of the neck and head for narrowing, plaque or a tear in the vessel wall that could cause a further stroke. Dr Dennis Dietrich is a certified level 2 ultrasound teacher of the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM), which means that he trains other doctors in the method. We describe separately what neurology in Germany covers.
What they are known for
