General cardiology

General cardiology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, with the goal of intervening before the most serious consequences such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, and sudden death occur.

What we treat

  • Arterial hypertension.
  • Subacute and chronic coronary artery disease.
  • Valvular disease.
  • Heart failure.
  • Heart rhythm disorders.
  • Congenital heart disease.

Diagnosis and treatment

In close collaboration with all specialties of cardiovascular medicine, individualized therapeutic courses are set up and major cardiological examinations are performed:

  • Basal, 24-hour (Holter) and exercise electrocardiogram.
  • Transthoracic rest and exercise echocardiogram - single/bi/tridimensional transesophageal.
  • Coronary CT scan.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging.
  • 24h blood pressure recording.
  • Pulmonary function (spirometry).
  • Coronarography.

Patient services

Clinical and diagnostic services

Dedicated services

Sex and gender cardiology

The focus on a "cardiology of differences," which in distinction lays the foundations of a more careful and more effective cardiology, characterizes with increasing importance the best centers for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and more generally quality medicine. At the Cardiocentro Ticino Institute, this area of interest and study - involving research, clinical work and correct information - is manned by a specific outpatient clinic.
Cardiopsychotherapy

In collaboration with the Lugano Group Research Institute (IRG), the Cardiocentro Ticino Institute has activated a service focusing on the "psychic-mental" dimension of the patient, an aspect traditionally neglected but important even in the highly technologized field of cardiology medicine.
