Vithas Cardiovascular Institute
Areas of specialisation
Clinical cardiology
The centrepiece of the speciality. It is the patient’s gateway to the study, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and follow-up of cardiovascular conditions.
Haemodynamics
Its aim is the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases, when they are treatable percutaneously. It includes everything from diagnostic coronary angiography, coronary stent implantation to percutaneous artificial valve implantation (PAVI).
Arrhythmia and electrophysiology
Involves the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders, offering an effective and safe treatment for various tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias. It also includes the insertion of pacemakers in slow rhythm disorders.
Cardiovascular surgery
Addresses cardiovascular system disorders and diseases through surgical techniques. The most commonly treated conditions are those related to coronary ischemic disease and valvular heart diseases.
Intensive Care Unit
The institute functionally integrates the intensive care units and anaesthesia and postoperative resuscitation services of the 3 Vithas hospitals in Madrid.
Haemodynamics room
We have haemodynamics rooms in the 3 Vithas hospitals in Madrid. These have high-technology equipment to obtain dynamic images, process them and digitise them to diagnose and treat cardiovascular coronary diseases without open surgery.
Biplane room
State-of-the-art technological equipment that allows simultaneous images to be obtained at different planes, accelerating the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Telehealth
We offer cardiological health care over the phone thanks to telematic access allowing us to monitor and care for remote patients.
Cardiac rehabilitation
We develop personalised exercise and education programmes with the aim of promoting the recovery and reintegration into social and working life for patients who have suffered from heart disease.
