Cardiovascular
Map
All our protocols are customized according to the characteristics and needs of each patient , avoiding unnecessary tests and focusing the diagnosis to what is really important.
Our extensive experience in the prevention, detection and early treatment of cardiovascular diseases makes us benchmarks, national and international, in the approach to the main diseases that affect the heart: ischemic heart disease (infarction and angina pectoris), cardiomyopathies, valvular diseases and aortopathies, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease in adults and heart failure.
Cardiologists, nurses and imaging technicians, with the best and most modern technology, allows us o improve the prognosis of the disease thanks to an early diagnosis, exhaustive and personalized follow-up of the patient and education in heart-healthy habits and lifestyle.

Map
80% of heart disease
could be prevented with a healthier lifestyle.
The PREVENTION is, therefore, the key to curbing the epidemic of cardiovascular diseases. And, as part of this, it is essential to know the risk factors to understand the disease and know the options to be able to fight or control them.
Hence the importance of knowing YOUR CARDIOVASCULAR MAP hat shows the state of your heart based on diagnostic tests, control and clinical analysis.
Thanks to our cardiovascular map we can get ahead of the disease to try to avoid, control or diagnose it in very early stages.
To do this, our cardiology team, calculates a person’s cardiovascular risk of suffering from a infarction or stroke in the future and performs different imaging tests, mainly vascular ultrasound, to visualize directly artery disease.
And it is precisely in the latter where is the greatest progress and the future of prevention, when the experience and work of specialists and a technology of avant-garde allows us to make “that difference that saves lives”.
“Early detection by imaging techniques of plaques of atheroma, even before there are symptoms, by Imaging techniques can help identify those patients where risk scales or risk factors do not still discriminate who is going to suffer a heart attack”,
MD Leticia Fernández-Friera.

2D and 3D Vascular Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a technique that allows to visualize the wall of arteries, measure the thickness of their different layers and detect both atheroma plaques and the presence of aneurysms or dilations.
In this way, ultrasound can reveal in a simple and accurate way the presence of atherosclerotic disease even before the first discomfort or symptoms appear.
Unlike angiography (the popular catheterization) this test does not uses x-rays and therefore does not involve radiation exposure ionizing. The ultrasound of three-dimensional carotids is so novel that, at the moment, it is not available for clinical use in most hospitals.
An added advantage of this is that it allows you to see not only the plaques deposited in the arteries but quantify the volume of them. This helps to estimate better cardiovascular risk and helps personalized clinical management.
2D and 3D Echocardiogram
It’s a test used to visualize the structure of the heart and thus study its hemodynamic functioning, that is, its ability to pump blood.
Thanks to it, valvular diseases can be accurately diagnosed, of the heart muscle and aorta, congenital or acquired, and allows classify them according to their intensity and etiology.
Stress echocardiogram
It’s a test to diagnose cardiovascular pathologies that do not present symptoms when the patient is at rest but becomes symptomatic when performing physical exercise.
It consists on the examination of physical endurance through various aerobic exercises.
It is also important, from a certain age, for all those who want to lead an active life focused on sports.
Advanced image analysis and diagnostics Cardio-CT and Cardio-Resonance Magnetic
We have the necessary experience and technology to analyse the images from Cardio-CT and Cardio-MRI studies conducted in collaboration with reference centers .
With it, offer an advanced cardiac and coronary pathologies diagnosis by image, facilitating a service of quality and accuracy to doctors, hospitals, clinics and patients.
Our
Programs
In order to optimize the treatment and follow-up of patients, we have grouped people with similar profiles in our programs in order to apply an individualized and precise protocol for each patient. In this way, we are committed to specialization and an accurate approach in all cases.
MAAM Women's Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Leticia Fernández-Friera.
Aimed at raising awareness of the importance of cardiovascular disease in women by offering updated information, stimulating prevention, promoting the adoption of healthy behaviors from an early age and contributing to improve diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Cardiovascular Risk Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Leticia Fernández-Friera.
A unit focused on the early detection and treatment of coronary, myocardial and valvular disease, with special emphasis on high-risk populations, including patients with a family history of cardiovascular disease, with cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, among others), systemic diseases related to atherosclerosis (psoriasis) or with a previous history of interest, such as preeclampsia.
Arrhythmia Program (AP)
Directed and coordinated by MD. Rafael Salguero and MD. Fernando Arribas.
Individualized treatment of patients with arrhythmias through the diagnosis of cardiac involvement, the precise typification of the arrhythmia and its most appropriate treatment. It also aims to make an accurate diagnosis of patients with symptoms compatible with cardiac arrhythmias.
Thrombosis, Anticoagulation and Hemorrhagic Risk Program (PTARH)
Directed and coordinated by MD. Rafael Salguero and MD. Fernando Arribas.
It improves the quality of life of patients at risk of thrombosis or under antithrombotic treatment, and helps them to control both the risk of thrombosis and bleeding associated with these diseases and the treatments used to control them.
Valvulopathy Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Jorge Solís.
Focused on early detection and close follow-up of patients with valvulopathies and valve prostheses. We understand that these patients require personalized attention and comprehensive care because they are usually elderly and have other additional pathologies.
Sudden Death and Cardiomyopathy Program
Directed and coordinated by MD. Rafael Salguero
It aims to raise awareness of the relevance of certain diseases as a cause of sudden death in apparently healthy people at familial-genetic risk of suffering from them, as well as in patients with heart disease.
Cardio-Oncology Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Belén Díaz
Our goal is to provide comprehensive and continuous cardiovascular care to cancer patients from the time of diagnosis throughout their lives. Early detection of cardiac toxicity of certain cancer treatments using state-of-the-art imaging technology is key to clinical management of the patient.
Congenital Heart Disease Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Sandra Villagrá
We evaluate and follow up heart disease, rule out associated lesions, establish their possible treatments and their long-term prognosis. With an especially humane approach, we deal with congenital heart disease, not only from the medical point of view, but also from the psychological, personal, family, work and social aspects, which can be markedly altered by heart disease.
Sports Cardiology Program
Directed and coordinated by Dr. Leonel Díaz González
Advised by MD. Araceli Boraita
Aimed at raising awareness of the importance of performing a cardiological examination before starting an intense physical activity or sports activity in apparently healthy people who may be carriers of silent (unknown) heart disease, as well as in patients affected by any form of heart disease: cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, diseases of the electrical system of the heart, congenital heart disease and coronary heart disease.
International Program
Directed and coordinated by M.D. Samantha Wasniewski
