Cardiology

A branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart, blood vessels and circulatory system. These diseases include coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems and heart failure.

This specialty is geared toward patients of all ages, and is performed to check and understand the health of the heart in order to prevent and/or treat cardiovascular disease.

What are the diseases treated by Internal Medicine

Cardiovascular diseases are diseases that affect the heart by narrowing the arteries and reducing the amount of blood the heart receives, making it more difficult for the heart to work. Today, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide.

What problem do we want to solve with this specialty?

Our goal is to make an early detection of any sign or symptom that suggests the presence of cardiovascular disease in our patients; since these types of diseases often present themselves without pain and without obvious symptoms. For that reason, they often go untreated. This can lead to even more serious health problems, such as heart attack, stroke or kidney damage.

What is especially dangerous about cardiovascular diseases is that you can have more than one at a time without even knowing it. For this reason, detection and diagnosis is of vital importance to preserve the patient’s life, since only then can we provide the correct treatment to solve this health condition and reduce the risk of complications.

Our services

Pediatric
cardiology

This practice treats and manages cardiac problems in children, such as: congenital heart disease, such as holes between the chambers (chambers) of the heart, valve problems and abnormal blood vessels.

Electrophysiology consultation

This study consists of a series of tests that examine the electrical activity of the heart.

Transthoracic echocardiography and Stress Exercise

It is the diagnostic study in which images of the heart in motion (beating) are obtained in real time. During the performance of a physiological stress, physical exercise, which through the increase in heart rate and blood pressure, information is obtained on the patient’s cardiovascular status.

Pediatric echocardiogram

It is an ultrasound imaging study used to analyze the morphology and physiology of the child’s heart and detect any anomaly or congenital heart disease.

Electrocardiogram

The electrocardiogram is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart that occurs in each heartbeat. This electrical activity is recorded from the patient’s body surface and is drawn on paper in a graphical representation or tracing, where different waves representing the electrical stimuli of the atria and ventricles are observed.

Stress test

The stress test, also known as ergometry, shows how the heart behaves during physical activity. Exercise makes the heart pump harder and faster. The stress test can indicate problems with blood flow within the heart.

MAP (24-hour blood
pressure monitoring)

It is a test intended to measure a patient’s blood pressure periodically, outside the hospital medical context, during a programmable period of time and for 24 hours.

24-hour Holter

It is a small electronic device that records and stores the patient’s electrocardiogram for at least 24 hours on an outpatient basis (at home, without the need to be carried out in the hospital). It is usually used in patients with suspected cardiac arrhythmia or to diagnose ischemia (lack of blood supply) of the heart muscle.
