Cardiology

A healthy heart is the foundation of a full life. That is why at La Colonia you have access to top cardiology specialists, the branch of medicine dedicated to cardiovascular health, including the heart and blood vessels.

The first step is prevention, and the second is early detection of heart disease through tests available at our medical and diagnostic centers. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and scheduling regular checkups is essential to prevent and identify conditions on time.

Our primary care physicians and specialists work to prevent heart disease, advising patients on healthy habits and controlling risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Most common heart conditions:

1. Coronary artery disease: Plaque buildup in the arteries supplying blood to the heart.
2. Heart attack: Occurs when a coronary artery is blocked, preventing the heart from receiving oxygen.
3. Heart failure: When the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
4. Heart valve disease: Problems with the valves controlling blood flow through the heart.
5. Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats.

Regardless of your condition, continuous follow-up is provided to adjust treatments and monitor progress.
