Who we are
Our group has evaluated more than 6,000 competitive and amateur athletes during the last 6 years, from all nacionalities and etnies. Our partnership with the Catalan Council for Sports (Catalan Government) and FC Barcelona has provided the opportunity to quickly be imbedded in the world of high performance sport.
A regular and routine screening is perfomred at the corresponding sportive centers and whenever an abnormality is detected, the subject is transferred to our Cardiobvascular Institute where a second line of tests and specific treatments can be provided.
Our depth and breadth of experience allows us to perform high complex surgeries and treatments, with success rates above the national average. Our staff works with the newest surgical and interventional techniques, equipment and devices, including most recently developed strategies. We are one of the largest and best equipped University Medical Center in Europe, due to the prestigious and devoted professionals, researchers and teacher in the Cardiovascular field.
For nation-wide scores, it has been established a comprehensive rating system to compare the quality of cardiac surgery among hospitals across the country. Most years the Hospital and our Institute have been awarded with the highest positions at the Top ten which is based on Aortic Valve Replacement, combined Aortic Valve Replacement and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery, and CABG or PCI.
