The Medical Cardiology Department is a comprehensive service, accredited to perform invasive coronary procedures as well as diagnostic and ablative electrophysiological studies (meeting B2 and E criteria).
The department works in close collaboration with the Cardiac Surgery Department at CHU Saint-Pierre, meeting B3 criteria.
Our medical team provides a 24/7 on-call service, ensuring continuous care day and night throughout the year.
Close coordination between the ambulance service, the Emergency Department, the Coronary Care Unit, and the Interventional Cardiology Unit minimises delay, which is essential for delivering optimal patient care. The proximity of the Coronary Care Unit and the Interventional Cardiology Unit further enhances this care pathway.
Areas of Expertise and Technique
Our key areas of activity include:
- Acute coronary care, with continuous, round-the-clock coverage, including immediate angiopla
- Structural interventional cardiology
- Cardiac rhythm management: electrophysiology and cardiac pacing
- Valvular heart disease
- Heat failure
- Hypertension
To support these areas, we use a full range of non-invasive techniques and state-of-the-art echocardiography, including two-and three-dimensional imaging, as well as stress and exercise echocardiography.
