Exams
The office is located within the Kirchberg hospital itself, near cardiology ward, cardiac intensive care unit, and diagnostic services facility where certain advanced cardiology tests are carried out. Should the patient require an urgent treatment or in case of an emergency, we can initiate immediate hospitalization during the consultation.
Our hospital activity is spread over 2 sites:
-
Kirchberg Hospital for cardiac imaging and hospitalization,
-
The INCCI (national institute of cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology) for invasive cardiology procedures.
In fact, 4 of our cardiologists are approved to practice at the INCCI: 2 in rhythmology and 2 in coronary angiography and interventions/structural heart interventions.rhythmology and 2 in coronarography/structural cardiology.
