The Heart and Vascular Clinic of Semmelweis University in Városmajor is a center where patients with cardiology, heart surgery and vascular surgery profiles are cared for. It is more than a traditional hospital, because it has a broad diagnostic capacity and is an institution capable of carrying out special, instrumental therapeutic interventions. Besides a full cardiology profile (transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, Holter ECG, exercise stress test, cardio-CT, cardio-MR) a principal role of our clinic is to perform invasive cardiology procedures of all types. A significant area is percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as well as traditional coronary angioplasty and stent implantation along with special coronary procedures (e.g. rotablation). Another essential area is electrophysiology; non-pharmacological treatment of arrhythmias and heart failure, implantation of high numbers of traditional and special (ICD, biventricular) pacemakers as well as catheter-ablation of severe arrhythmias. As a university clinic, besides preventing and treating diseases, we take a substantial part in all of the universíty’s classical “triple” role. There is gradual medical education at our clinic in three languages (Hungarian, English and German). We also take part in postgradual specialty training, preparing the applicants for basic and higher level specialty Board Exams, and we are also integrated into the School of PhD Studies. The clinical work is accompanied by experimental and clinical research, where well-known international experts provide opportunities for young doctors and medical students for scientific projects.
