We are keenly aware of the importance of the heart, the body’s engine, so we have sophisticated equipment that helps us examine and treat heart disease, which helps us make accurate and timely diagnoses of cardiovascular disease. 

In Mexico, isquemic cardiomyopathy is one of the main causes of death, and the basic cause for this disease is an interruption in the flow of blood through the coronary arteries. The development of strategies focused on the prevention, detection and early management is especially relevant.

In an innovative system for diagnostic evaluation of cardiovascular disease, OCA Hospital places the best scientific and technological infrastructure in addition to offering integrated services providing all of the necessary studies to get a precise diagnosis and treatment.

We have the most advanced equipment for the detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease. That is the case with Ultrasound iE33, specially designed for cardiology examinations which have a matrix transducer for better image resolution, 4D and excellent sensitivity in the Doppler mode and color flow.

On the other hand, the PET-CT scan is among the most advanced equipment presently and the first to be installed in our country. It is an excellent tool for the detection and diagnosis of coronary artery disease, myocardial viability assessment and heart transplant.

Among the most modern studies done in the cardiology department is the Coronary CAT Scan. This is the first installed in Latin America, which allows the assessment of the coronary arteries through the Comprehensive Cardiac Software by Philips, which is the best available technology for studies in this specialty using 64 Slice Brilliance Philips. We also offer Cardiac Magnetic Resonance where you can see cardiac viability and performance using the Intera 1.5 T or the Achieva 3.0 T, both by Philips.

The Allura Xper FD20 by Philips is the first digital hemodynamic system functioning in northern Mexico. It includes a flat detector for better image resolution, 3D image reconstruction through rotational tracking which can manage the dosage of radiation and image quality. These are advantages over other types of equipment making it one of the most modern diagnostic and treatment systems for various cardiovascular diseases.

The basic task of the cardiology department is to provide high quality, high specialty medical care and human warmth, with personalized follow-up in each case that, due to its complexity, require specialized cardiology care.
