meet Dr. José Calabuig Nogués

His Research Area is focussed on the study and detection of coronary vulnerable plaque markers using imaging techniques. His research also includes the evaluation of regression of the hypertrophy and fibrosis in the Left Ventricle using markers, renal denervation and the treatment of refractory arterial hypertension.

His areas of interest centre on the treatment of coronary lesions, functional evaluation techniques, such as FFR using a pressure guide, and imaging techniques such as OCT (optical coherence tomography) and Intracoronary Ultrasounds (HV or virtual histology and IVUS). He uses treatments with 2nd techniques rotational atherectomy (rotablator). He was one of the first Cardiologists to start using coronary stents in Spain and the first to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to study the coronary vulnerable plaque. Currently, he carries out all available treatments at the Clínica for all forms of ischemic cardiopathology. For years, he has carried out all of our Structural Cardiology treatments such as the closure of the permeable oval foramen (FOP) with a scope and no need for ultrasound, closure of the atrial septum (CIA), the left atrial appendage, the permeable aterial duct as well as, pulmonary valvuloplasty and or 3rd generation stents, as well as resorbable stents, and through the percutaneous implantation of aortic prothesis. He is currently the best Interventional Cardiologist in Spain for renal denervation with a Tetrapolar catheter.
