Patient information

Clinical Cardiology Unit

Comprehensive diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease

The Clinical Cardiology Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital, headed by Dr Felipe Hernández Hernández, focuses on the accurate diagnosis, treatment and structured follow-up of cardiovascular disease, routinely including the management of heart failure and other complex chronic conditions.

Care is provided both for people with a previously diagnosed cardiovascular condition and for patients presenting with symptoms, abnormal test results or risk factors that require specialist assessment.

The aim is to clarify the clinical situation, assess the actual risk and determine the most appropriate management strategy at any given time, ensuring continuity of care where necessary.

Expert assessment of cardiovascular risk Many cardiovascular diseases can progress without any noticeable symptoms. A structured clinical assessment makes it possible to identify the level of risk, distinguish between stable conditions and those requiring intervention, and organise safe and appropriate follow-up care.

Cardiovascular conditions treated in the clinic

The unit specialises in the diagnosis and management of the main cardiovascular conditions:

  • Heart failure

  • Ischaemic heart disease

  • High blood pressure

  • Valvular heart disease

  • Cardiomyopathies

  • Arrhythmias

These conditions require ongoing clinical monitoring to enable treatment to be adjusted, complications to be prevented and medical decisions to be tailored to each patient’s individual progress.

How each case is assessed and medical decisions are made

The assessment begins with a detailed clinical evaluation, based on the patient’s medical history, physical examination and individual cardiovascular risk assessment. Depending on the individual case, tests such as an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress tests or ambulatory monitoring are carried out, with all the results being integrated into an overall interpretation.

Treatment decisions are made in a reasoned manner, clearly explaining the available options and facilitating informed decision-making.

Medical treatment and coordination with specialist units

The therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual and includes drug treatment, lifestyle advice and management of risk factors. Where the patient’s clinical condition requires it, the unit coordinates referrals to highly specialised departments, such as interventional cardiology, cardiac imaging or electrophysiology and arrhythmias, ensuring a smooth and safe transition within the same healthcare setting.

Clinical monitoring at every stage Regular monitoring is essential in cardiovascular disease. Regular check-ups enable treatment to be adjusted, the clinical response to be assessed and potential complications to be anticipated, thereby ensuring long-term stability and safety.

A highly specialised team

The medical team comprises cardiologists with a high level of clinical specialisation, experienced in managing complex and chronic cases. The care model is based on a close relationship with patients, continuity of care and coordination amongst professionals, prioritising clinical safety and medical support at every stage of the process.

We take the time needed to listen, explain the diagnosis clearly and outline the various treatment options, facilitating informed and calm decision-making. The care relationship is built on respect for each person’s pace and needs, ensuring stability, trust and ongoing support over time.

Specialist cardiology assessment

In the event of cardiovascular symptoms, findings from previous tests or a confirmed diagnosis, the Unit offers an expert assessment to confirm the clinical situation, carry out the necessary investigations and determine the most appropriate treatment and follow-up plan.
