Heart Failure Unit

What Does the Unit Treat?

Heart Failure represents a significant health problem, as it is the most frequent cause of hospital admission in individuals over 65 years of age. The CIEC Heart Failure Unit specializes in the comprehensive management of all forms of heart failure. We know that close and early follow-up after a heart failure admission is crucial, as up to 25% of patients are readmitted within the first month after discharge, and up to 50% within the first 6 months. Therefore, we offer an approach that goes beyond pharmacological treatment, combining the experience of a multidisciplinary team with the latest technologies to improve your quality of life and life expectancy.

What Makes Us Different?

• Expert multidisciplinary team: We have a team of cardiologists, specialized nurses, and physiotherapists, working in coordination to offer you comprehensive care and address all aspects of your illness.
• Advanced technology for diagnosis and monitoring: We use the latest technologies, including advanced echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate your heart function and precisely adapt the treatment.
