Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology Laboratory

It is a specialized space where minimally invasive procedures are performed to diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels. These procedures allow an accurate evaluation of the heart's function and treat conditions safely and with a faster recovery for the patient.

What is a hemodynamic procedure for?

Identify obstructions in the pipelines

Evaluate heart valve function and repair valve damage using devices (TAVI, MITRACLIP).

Measuring pressures inside the heart and blood vessels

Treating coronary obstructions to restore blood flow

Correct congenital heart defects.

Assessment of coronary arteries by coronary physiology and intravascular imaging.

Renal artery denervation for the treatment of arterial hypertension.

What is the function of Electrophysiology procedures?

  • To accurately diagnose arrhythmias.
  • Correct abnormal heart rhythms.
  • Regulate the heartbeat with pacemakers or defibrillators.
  • Monitor the heart to detect hidden arrhythmias.
  • Prevent complications such as fainting and stroke.

Benefits of undergoing a hemodynamic and electrophysiology procedure.

  • Minimally invasive procedures.
  • Shorter hospitalization time.
  • Faster recovery.
  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment in the same procedure.
  • Better control and prevention of cardiovascular complications.

How are Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology procedures performed?

During both types of procedures, a thin, flexible catheter is inserted through an artery or vein. With the help of real-time imaging with special x-ray guidance (fluoroscopy), the medical team guides the catheter to the heart.

In Hemodynamics

Coronary arteries, valves and chambers are evaluated to diagnose and treat problems such as blockages or narrowing. Interventions such as angioplasty or stenting can be performed in the same procedure.

In Electrophysiology

The electrical system of the heart is studied to identify and treat arrhythmias. Ablations may be performed to eliminate abnormal foci or devices such as pacemakers may be implanted to regulate the heart rhythm.

These procedures are minimally invasive, are performed under anesthesia and generally allow for a quick recovery, offering an accurate diagnosis and treatment in the same medical act.

Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology Procedures

The Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology Laboratory performs minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures, allowing cardiovascular health to be restored with less hospitalization time and rapid recovery.

Diagnostic cardiac catheterization

Study of coronary arteries and cardiac pressures through the introduction of a catheter.

Therapeutic cardiac catheterization

Interventional procedures to treat obstructions or other conditions detected during catheterization.

Coronariography

Visualization of the coronary arteries to identify obstructions or narrowing.

IVUS/OCT

Intravascular imaging to guide angioplasty procedures with or without stents and determine failure mechanisms of previous procedures

Endovascular mitral valve repair

Minimally invasive endovascular clip-on mitral valve repair in patients with severe valve insufficiency (MITRACLIP).

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Minimally invasive catheter-based aortic valve replacement (TAVI)

Coronary angioplasty with stent placement

Treatment of blocked coronary arteries, using balloons and stent placement to keep them open.

Peripheral hemodynamic studies

Assessment of blood flow in arteries and veins outside the heart

Valvuloplasties

Procedure to open narrowed heart valves by balloon catheter.

Congenital heart defect closure

Electrophysiological study (EEF)

Invasive evaluation to map and diagnose arrhythmias by introducing catheters into the heart.

Radiofrequency ablation

Procedure to eliminate anomalous electrical sources that cause arrhythmias by applying controlled thermal energy.

Pacemaker implantation

Placement of a device that regulates heart rhythm in patients with bradycardia or blockages.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation

A device that detects severe arrhythmias and delivers an electric shock to restore normal rhythm.

Implantation of implantable cardiac monitors

Devices that allow prolonged and continuous monitoring of the heart rhythm to diagnose arrhythmias.

Frequently Asked Questions

These procedures are performed with the assistance of an anesthesiologist, who administers the appropriate anesthesia for each case. The patient should not experience pain during the process.

It can last from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the type of procedure.

Most patients can resume their daily activities within a few days, according to medical indications.
