Cardiology
"We have the utmost technology to perform procedures that, owing to this equipment, are more precise and obtain better results".
DR. IGNACIO GARCÍA BOLAO DIRECTOR. CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
The Department of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery has a wide range of experience and excellent proven results in the field of heart disease diagnosis and treatment, especially heart failure, complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, ischemic heart disease (heart attack and angina pectoris) and heart valve disorders.
We have a team of experts from different specialties, including cardiologists, heart surgeons, specialist nurses and the support of many other related areas such as cardiovascular radiology or genetics. It also has state-of-the-art technology, including two hybrid operating rooms, two electrophysiology rooms and CT and MRI equipment of the latest generation.
This enables us to offer comprehensive and truly multidisciplinary service, as well as to choose the best treatment for the patient who suffers from heart disease, which is personalised and approved by the medical-surgical team of specialists. These treatments include, from minimally invasive procedures -frequently outpatients-, such as coronary angioplasty, the implantation of percutaneous valves, the ablation of arrhythmias, or the implantation of pacemakers or defibrillators, to complex cardiac surgery procedures, ventricular assistance or even, heart transplants, in these cases supported by a cardiovascular hospitalisation unit that has the Coronary Unit.
The patient’s doctors and specialist nurses, both in person and by a structured telephone service, closely supervise a post-treatment follow-up.

Domingo
Prostate cancer recurrence
"I found out I had cancer thanks to a routine blood test. There may be a lot of people who have the same problem as me, who have a tumor and don't notice it.
I have regained the sense of security I had lost. I feel very good.
Harriet
Proton therapy for your esophageal cancer
In her 80s, Harriet traveled from Toronto to Madrid to be treated for esophageal cancer.
After the diagnosis in her hometown, Harriet and her family sought a second opinion that would offer a more appropriate treatment for her disease. Thus, they came to the Clínica Universidad de Navarra to receive proton therapy.

I recommend that you come here because the most important thing in life is to feel good.
Inmaculada
Chronic Urticaria
"There are limitations but with desire, they are replaced. With this new medication for my hives I can lead a practically normal life.
I do not give importance to the disease, I have it and sometimes it bothers me but I do not give more value to it than to my life.
