Treated pathologies

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of diseases of the heart and large vessels, therefore, any patient who may present this type of pathology is a population subject to study.

The most frequent pathology is arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, arrhythmias / palpitations, atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease (angina, myocardial infarctions), heart failure / dyspnea / shortness of breath, syncope / loss of consciousness or problems with the valves or pericardium.

In general, any heart problem or symptoms that may be cardiac

Healthcare Processes

It is based on a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular diseases, which complements prevention, early detection, chronic care, rehabilitation and end-of-life care to provide quality care to patients..

• Management of arrhythmias
  Management of heart failure
  Management of ischemic heart disease

Available services

Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (also known by its acronym ECG) is a simple examination that records the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes applied to the skin. The electrocardiogram records on paper the changes that occur in the small electrical currents that occur in the heart with each heartbeat.

It is used in the initial diagnosis of many heart diseases and can detect enlargements of the heart chambers, alterations in the heart rhythm.

 

Color Doppler Echocardiogram

Ultrasound waves bounce off blood cells circulating in both veins and arteries. As they bounce off, the color changes, allowing the cardiologist to interpret these color changes (Doppler signals) and measure the speed and direction of the blood.

The Doppler technique can be used to monitor various pathologies related to blood flow and/or pressure in the arteries of the heart. This is not detectable with traditional ultrasounds..

Study of heart rhythm by electrocardiographic Holter

Ambulatory electrocardiography, Holter electrocardiography (or simply Holter) is a cardiological diagnostic test that consists of ambulatory monitoring of the electrocardiographic record for a prolonged period of time, usually twenty-four hours, in a person who is in motion.

It is mainly used in the study of arrhythmias, bradycardia, coronary disease and extrasystole. To carry out this test, electrodes, a recorder and an electrocardioanalyzer are needed.

Ambulatory blood pressure study using Holter monitoring or ABPM

The purpose of this test is to measure a patient’s blood pressure and observe its variations and alterations in relation to the different phases and activities of the day. It is also used to evaluate the usefulness of antihypertensive therapy. It is especially indicated when an increase in blood pressure induced by the act of visiting a doctor is suspected. This effect, called the white coat phenomenon, causes discrepancies in the blood pressure measured in the consultation and that obtained outside of it.
