Emergency and scheduled procedures aimed at reducing the incidence and effects of cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases, using the most advanced technology.
Cardiovascular medicine is a medical specialty focused on the study and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, using imaging techniques and invasive procedures.
The Hemodynamics Unit performs procedures such as cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, stent placement, and embolization, among others, with the aim of diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases.
It is recommended that you visit a cardiac catheterization lab if you experience symptoms of cardiovascular disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness, among others.
Cardiac catheterization procedures are performed by a specialized medical team consisting of interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, and trained nursing staff.
The duration of a cardiac catheterization procedure can vary depending on the type of procedure and the complexity of the case, but on average it can last between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
