This exemplary ensures associated decision-making based connected technological grounds and specialised objective committees that find nan astir due therapeutic strategy successful each case.

Advanced Cardiac Imaging and Haemodynamics: precision diagnosis

One of nan pillars of nan work is its Advanced Cardiac Imaging Unit, equipped with:

• Transthoracic echocardiography
• Transoesophageal echocardiography
• Stress and opposition echocardiography
• Cardiac computed tomography (coronary and structural)
• Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (coming soon)

Within nan Haemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Unit, some diagnostic and therapeutic coronary angiographies are performed, arsenic good arsenic angioplasties successful acute and chronic patients.

This instrumentality enables early and highly meticulous diagnosis, which is basal to trim complications and amended prognosis.

• Aortic surgery
• Complex repetition cardiac surgeries

The squad prioritises minimally invasive techniques whenever clinically appropriate, pinch nan purpose of reducing surgical consequence and optimising diligent recovery.

As a unique feature, nan infirmary besides has an Intensive Care Unit pinch precocious haemodynamic monitoring and mechanical circulatory support, ensuring specialised supervision astir nan clock.

Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Unit

The work besides includes a Cardiac Arrhythmia Unit, dedicated to nan test and curen of bosom hit disorders through:

• Electrophysiological studies
• Radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation
• Treatment of atrial fibrillation
• Implantation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
• Cardiac resynchronisation therapy

Close coordination betwixt objective cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, intensivists, specialised anaesthetists and highly qualified nursing unit allows nan work to supply broad and safe care.

Sports Cardiology: prevention and monitoring successful athletes

The improvement of Sports Cardiology is different strategical area of nan service. It provides:

• Cardiovascular sports aesculapian assessments
• Cardiovascular consequence stratification
• Athlete-specific echocardiography
• Personalised follow-up for patients pinch bosom disease

This attack is basal some for master athletes and for recreational sports enthusiasts who wish to workout safely.

Warning signs of cardiovascular disease

Recognising informing signs tin prevention lives. Specialists astatine nan centre accent nan value of seeking urgent aesculapian attraction if symptoms specified arsenic nan pursuing occur:

• Oedema successful nan little limbs
• Rapid weight gain

Leg symptom erstwhile walking

• Pain that appears while stepping and improves pinch rest
• Possible denotation of peripheral vascular disease

With a highly specialised squad and precocious technological infrastructure, nan Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Service astatine Quirónsalud Torrevieja Hospital offers broad attraction for cardiovascular illness astatine each stage: prevention, diagnosis, curen and recovery.

Its integrated model, committedness to minimally invasive room and 24-hour cardiac supervision position it arsenic a starring reference successful cardiology successful nan Vega Baja region and nan confederate portion of nan state of Alicante.
