The Department’s objective is to prevent cardiovascular diseases, timely diagnose, thoroughly investigate and responsibly manage cardiovascular patients, according to international standards.
The department operates Cardiology Clinic, Cardiology Laboratory, Hemodynamic Laboratory, Department of Electrophysiology and Pacing, while it is supported by the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Metropolitan General.
Significant diagnostic value and safety are guaranteed by our highly trained medical and nursing personnel.
In the context of Interventional Cardiology, Metropolitan General satisfies all the diagnostic and therapeutical needs of the patient, whenever it is necessary, 24 hours a day.

It is one of the few centers in Greece, where the following are performed:
- Full electrophysiology studies
- Ablations, using latest technologies
- Rotablation
- Implantation of pacemakers with innovative technology without electrodes
- Percutaneous Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) (replacement without operation) with innovative techniques for neuroprotection
- Opening of severely calcified stenoses of the coronary arteries with Shockwave (intracoronary ultrasound lithotripsy) novel technique
- Percutaneous valvuloplasties
- Transcutaneous closure of interventricular shunt / paravalvular leak
The interventions are performed at the Hemodynamics Laboratory and at the Department of Electrophysiology and Pacing.
It should be stressed out that all cardiology beds are equipped with a state-of-the-art telemetry monitoring system which monitors the progress of cardiac patients on a 24-hour basis.
