Cardiology

Ascires is a leading biomedical group in advanced non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular pathologies, thanks to its constant innovation in Cardiovascular Imaging (latest technology, AI and genetics tools), its role in scientific research and the high specialization of its medical team.

 

Why Ascires? 

  • Highly specialized multidisciplinary team (cardiologists, specialized nursing staff, geneticists and bioengineers)
  • Highly advanced cardiovascular diagnostic services utilizing the latest technology in CRM, CTC, and transthoracic echocardiography, as well as specialized medical equipment and artificial intelligence tools. We are proud to be the only centre in Spain to have received triple European accreditation in general CRM, stress CRM, and congenital pathology CRM. This allows us to provide early and accurate diagnoses for our patients.
  • Our advanced Diagnostic Imaging techniques combined with genetic counselling allow for personalized assessment of coronary risk.
  • Collaborate closely with medical professionals in other specialities to improve accuracy in diagnosing and treating pathologies.

 

 

 

 

Cardiovascular Imaging

Our Cardiovascular Imaging Unit has extensive experience in echocardiography, cardiomagnetic resonance imaging (CRM) and cardiac computed tomography (CT).

At Ascires, we are the only Spanish center with triple European accreditation for general CRM, stress CRM, and congenital pathology CRM. Our cardiologists have achieved the highest level of European certification for performing CRM and CTC. We also specialize in advanced techniques like deformation analysis, four-dimensional blood flow analysis, and parametric quantification.

 

Innovation through scientific research

In the field of scientific research, the Ascires Cardiology team has a long and nationally recognized track record.

Among the many research in which they have participated, in 2023 Ascires conducted a study, in collab with the Higher Sports Council, in which new reference values ​​were determined to study the cardiovascular health of athletes.

Our cardiologists also participated in a research project that investigated the impact of high-performance sports on the heart. This study received the First National Research Prize in Sports Medicine from the University of Oviedo
