Athens Heart Center P. Faliro: Holistic approach to the cardiac patient
The modern holistic approach to the cardiac patient requires the creation of a fully equipped and specialized center. The new Athens Heart Center of the P. Faliro University Hospital provides high-level cardiological services in both diagnosis and treatment of the cardiac patient.
Arrhythmia & Interventional Electrophysiology
Specifically in the field of arrhythmia and interventional electrophysiology, we now have one of the most modern laboratories in the country with the ability to definitively treat complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia. Pacemaker, defibrillator and biventricular implantations are also performed.
Invasive Cardiology
In the field of interventional cardiology, the experienced team of interventional cardiologists provides its services 24 hours a day using the most modern methods for the benefit of the patient. Particular importance is given to the immediate treatment of acute myocardial infarction and complete reperfusion. In addition, the entire spectrum of coronary interventions is covered, specifically: stem lesions, bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusions.
Cardiac imaging
Finally, in the area of cardiac imaging with the help of advanced diagnostic tools, it is possible to study heart structures using newer techniques (strain assessment, three-dimensional ultrasound), perform a transesophageal echocardiogram (an examination that contributes to the investigation of cardiac causes of strokes, imaging of clots, tumors, communications, valvular diseases), as well as assess cardiac function with newer ischemia tests such as stress echo with dobutamine (dynamic echocardiographic study).
