Clinical Services
Cardiology
Cardiology Department.
We have a first-class department staffed by leading national specialists in the field.
Our care model is built on a collaborative Heart Team, ensuring the highest quality of care.
We also place strong emphasis on academic excellence and ongoing professional development for all our doctors.
All diagnostics and treatments follow international best-practice protocols, adapted to the context of our hospital.
State-of-the-art equipment
The echocardiogram is an essential tool in modern clinical practice for diagnosing and monitoring cardiovascular disease. Achieving the highest standards of excellence in its performance is therefore of utmost importance. The Echocardiography Laboratory at the British Hospital is divided into two areas:
- Adult echocardiography: transthoracic (TTE) and transoesophageal (TOE).
- Stress echocardiography: pharmacological and exercise-based.
All our adult echocardiographers are certified and accredited by the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) in the United States.
The NBE sets the highest international standards and promotes excellence in interpreting and performing cardiovascular Echo Doppler tests.
We also provide the stress echocardiography in its different modalities, exercise and pharmacological, under the direction of a national expert in the field.
Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to perform various types of echocardiography to study ventricular mechanics, cardiac function and 4D image processing.
An echocardiographer is on duty within the hospital from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on call afterwards, enabling early diagnosis of patients who require it.
The department also performs PACEMAKER IMPLANT PROCEDURES and is an accredited centre of the National Resources Fund (FNR) for these treatments.
In addition, the department is strongly committed to health promotion, with long-standing initiatives in patient education and support for lifestyle changes that significantly improve quality of life.
