Center
Cardiovascular

The Cardiovascular Center (CCV) is the HOMS proposal aimed at the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
We offer comprehensive, personalized and multidisciplinary care with all the diagnostic and therapeutic means available.
A medicine within reach of all patients with cardiovascular disease, concentrated on levels 11 and 12 of our hospital building, where cardiovascular care services are coordinated with all hospital departments: radiology, emergencies, nuclear medicine, laboratory, intensive care, etc. In addition, we have a specific hospitalization area with 36 single rooms.
The CCV is made up of the following departments:

Non Invasive Cardiology
We have the most advanced technology for the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment of patients with cardiovascular pathology; we have three rooms for echocardiography (Transthoracic Echo, Transesophageal Echo, 3D Echo, Echo Strain), three rooms for stress tests and one for Tilt Test or Tilt table.
Coordinated by Dr. Dinanyeli Martínez – Cardiologist Echocardiographer.
