The Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago is constantly developing its different departments, improving the quality of care offered to its patients, incorporating the study of 3D echocardiography and Strain echocardiography to its Cardiovascular Center (CCV HOMS).

These new procedures will improve echocardiographic diagnosis and provide more accurate information on patients with cardiovascular disease, left ventricular failure, both systolic and diastolic, and valvular disease.

Three-dimensional echocardiography has been a breakthrough in the field of cardiovascular imaging. This technique is based on the addition of multiple images in two dimensions, which produces the 3D image, whose use has become indispensable in the diagnostic and surgical planning process in addition to the 2D image. Strain echocardiography can be used to examine the degree of myocardial strain.

These types of studies are fundamental diagnostic tests, because they offer a moving image of the heart, providing data about the shape, size, strength of the heart, movement and thickness of its walls and the functioning of its valves.

Dr. Dinanyeli Martínez, echocardiographic cardiologist at CCV HOMS, comments that “with the inclusion of these procedures in the Cardiovascular Center’s portfolio of services we seek to broaden our offer, completing the requirements of modern cardiology”.

HOMS ensures that its users have the most advanced technology to guarantee the quality and safety of their medical evaluations.
