Cardiology

Clinic Profile

At the Cardiology Clinic of Nicosia General Hospital, our vision and mission are the continuous upgrade and maintenance of a high level of healthcare services for the full spectrum of heart diseases. Our goal is the timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment of cardiac conditions, while simultaneously ensuring the satisfaction of patients and their loved ones. Our daily routine is characterized by the constant effort to acquire new knowledge through educational activities — both as instructors and as trainees — our participation in research programs, and excellent daily medical practice.

In the catheterization department, coronary angiographies for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease are performed, as well as primary angioplasties for acute myocardial infarction on a 24-hour basis, and complex angioplasties using rotational atherectomy, LASER thrombectomy, lithotripsy with Shockwave balloon, intravascular imaging with IVUS/OCT, and iFR/FFR assessment. A service for chronic total occlusion coronary angioplasty is offered by a specialized team of interventional cardiologists, along with a department for percutaneous repair of structural heart diseases using advanced valvular therapies, such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), percutaneous mitral and tricuspid valve repair (TEER), left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), closure of atrial septal defects or patent foramen ovale (ASD/PFO closure), implantation of Coronary Sinus Reducers, and percutaneous treatment of paravalvular leaks (PVL). An electrophysiology department operates with device implantations such as simple pacemakers, leadless pacemakers, defibrillators, and biventricular pacemakers. Specialized electrophysiological studies are conducted for common or complex arrhythmias, and lead extraction services are also offered.

The catheterization laboratory of the Cardiology Clinic is also a center of excellence and the only authorized training center in Cyprus and Greece for the REACT (Resuscitation and Acute Catheter Lab Emergencies) seminars, which aim to train personnel (doctors, nurses, and radiographers) in managing acute and emergency situations in the catheterization laboratory.

In the Non-Invasive Cardiology Laboratory of Nicosia General Hospital, transthoracic and transesophageal ultrasounds (two and three-dimensional) are performed daily. Classic treadmill stress tests, Dobutamine Stress Echo (pharmacological stress echocardiography), and Exercise Stress Echo (ergometric bicycle stress echocardiography) are also performed.

In the laboratory, 12-lead electrocardiograms are performed, and Holter cardiac rhythm recordings are placed for 24 hours up to one week.

The laboratory conducts specialized studies for patients with cardiomyopathies and valvular heart diseases. In collaboration with the Hemodynamic Laboratory, studies are performed for patients who may be referred for percutaneous valve repair and for left atrial appendage closure.

The laboratory has been scientifically certified by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (a branch of the European Society of Cardiology) for transthoracic ultrasound and dynamic echocardiography. The laboratory has also been certified with ISO 9001:2015 and BS EN 15224:2016 standards for its quality management system.

Patients with diseases or conditions from the entire spectrum of cardiology are hospitalized in the Ward, while acute and more severe cases are treated in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.

In the Outpatient Department, patients with all types of cardiac diseases are monitored, and specialized clinics operate, such as clinics for adult congenital heart diseases, heart failure, genetic cardiomyopathies, cardio-oncology, and valvular/structural heart diseases.
