Experts present in Valencia the latest advances in diagnostic imaging of cardiovascular diseases.

-some of these advances provide very valuable information to establish accurate and early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, one of the leading causes of death worldwide

Friday, January 2013.- studies have been presented last MondayJanuary 28, at the headquarters of ADEIT (Fundació Universitat-company of the Universitat de València), located in the Pza. Virgen de la Paz, within the framework of the 13th Congress multimodality of the Association for development and research in magnetic resonance imaging, sponsored by Chiron Valencia Hospital, than under the title comprehensive cardiovascular image viewing: current future ”, has shown internationally in handling most relevant research lines per image cardiovascular diseases.

Cardiovascular diseases represent one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with a significant social and economic impact for health systems. Although there have been significant progress during the past decade in cardiovascular research that have improved clinical practice, current knowledge of the pato-fisiologicos processes that control these diseases is still very limited, not even in intensively exploiting opportunities that open new medical technologies to improve the understanding of these mechanisms both for a deteccion and optimal management of these cardiovascular diseases.

The aim of the Conference has been to bring together, in a common forum, clinicians and researchers with extensive experience in advanced vascular, and cardiac imaging so that you can discuss major advances and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Some of the advances that were shown in this Congress are already having an application in daily clinical practice and provide valuable information to establish a diagnosis early and accurately.

As explained by the Dr. Luis Marti-Bonmati, head of the service of diagnostic imaging and the Hospital Quiron Valencia quantification unit, the application of computational models and quantitative biomarkers of image extraction are revolutionizing the diagnostic imaging and hoped that in the next few years new are progressively incorporated technologies that currently are still in research phase. In this Congress have blessed with consolidated techniques both lines of research that insurance will give its fruits in a very near on ischemia, infarction, the ateromatosis future, heart activity, therapeutic devices and the development of the heart ”.

During the day have involved researchers from the project of the Ministry of industry Zenith 2009-2012 CVREMOD (convergence of medical technologies for the Integral management of the Cardiovascular remodelling), led by Grupo Hospitalario Quirón.

Grupo Hospitalario Quirón

The group resulting from the merger of Chiron and USP hospital has a medical staff of international prestige – the most numerous of the sector-is the first in Spain in number of patients seen and care surface, and manages 44 health centers, more than 2,250 hospital bedslinked 6,500 doctors and 600,000 hospital stays per year. In 2011, Chiron and USP registered a total of 835.112 attended emergencies, 185.268 surgical interventions, 17,223 births, more than 10,000 cycles of assisted reproduction and around 40,000 cancer treatments.

The most private of Spain hospital network has 19 general hospitals in A Coruña, Adeje (Tenerife), Barcelona, Erandio (Vizcaya), Madrid, Malaga, Marbella, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), San Sebastian, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Seville, Torrevieja (Alicante), Valencia, Vitoria and Zaragoza; two day hospitals, in Playa de Muro (Mallorca) and Zaragoza; four monographs centers of assisted reproduction in Bilbao, Murcia, Pamplona and Torrente (Valencia); two ophthalmic centres in La Coruña and Barcelona; two centres of sports medicine in Vitoria; and 15 centers of consultations of various specialties in A Coruña, Ferrol (A Coruña), Fuengirola (Málaga), Lorca (Murcia), Orihuela (Alicante), Palma de Mallorca, Santa Pola (Alicante), Sa Pobla (Mallorca), Seville and Torrevieja (Alicante).
