Specialized programs

ACUTE HEART FAILURE CLINIC

It is a care model of the hospitalized patient that seeks to reduce mortality, hospital stay, and readmission of patients with decompensated heart failure. It involves emergency physicians, internal medicine, cardiology, nursing professionals, and the heart failure education group.

CHRONIC HEART FAILURE CLINIC

It is an outpatient comprehensive care clinic for patients with heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. It involves the education process about heart failure and the cardiologists and internists care. It seeks to achieve treatment goals that demonstrate an impact in reducing mortality, hospital admissions, and improving quality of life. Its operating basis consists in patient care according to guidelines, continuing education, and telemonitoring.

ENDOCARDITIS GROUP

It is a multidisciplinary care group for patients with a confirmed or highly suspected diagnosis of infectious endocarditis which seek to improve their clinical outcomes, including decrease in mortality. It is made up of internists, clinical cardiologists, imaging cardiologists, infectologists, and cardiovascular surgeons.

ONCOLOGICAL CARDIOLOGY

It is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary program for the attention, care, and management of patients diagnosed with cancer and established cardiovascular disease, or at high risk of developing it; it aims to improve clinical outcomes and their quality of life.
