The Cardiac Electrophysiology Unit in the Cardiovascular Institute at Hospital Clínica de Benidorm aims to offer patients suffering arrhythmia their diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for resolving and controlling their illnesses with the highest level of excellence.
This will be carried out basically by concentrating on the human dimension of the patient, placing this as the central axis of what we do. This special emphasis is very important since the other aspect upon which we base our actions, the massive use of cutting-edge technology, can result in losing the perspective that this is a medical act, where the patients, their discomfort, fears and hopes should be our primary preoccupation.
The Cardiac Electrophysiology Unit works in close collaboration and communication with the Clinical Cardiologist responsible for the patient so that we can integrate our work with all the cardiology and medical aspects of the patient.
