The Transcatheter Heart Valve Department has been operating since 2010. The Department staff have performed more than 1,400 transcatheter aortic valve replacements (the most in Greece), with all types of valves available today (SAPIEN 3, Edwards Lifesciences; Evolut PRO, Medtronic; Portico, Abbott; ACURATE neo and LOTUS Edge, Boston Scientific; JenaValve) and using all possible implantation methods (transfemoral, transaortic, transthoracic or transapical and subclavian route).
Symptoms & Diagnosis
All cardiologists study the disorders of the heart, but the study of adult and child heart disorders are through different training pathways. Therefore, an adult cardiologist (often simply called “cardiologist”) is inadequately trained to take care of children, and pediatric cardiologists are not trained to take care of adult heart disease.
What Causes Heart Failure?
-
Coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD), a disease of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart, causes decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. If the arteries become blocked or severely narrowed, the heart becomes starved for oxygen and nutrients.
-
Heart attack. A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes suddenly blocked, stopping the flow of blood to the heart muscle. A heart attack damages the heart muscle, resulting in a scarred area that does not function properly.
-
Cardiomyopathy. Damage to the heart muscle from causes other than artery or blood flow problems, such as from infections or alcohol or drug abuse.
-
Conditions that overwork the heart. Conditions including high blood pressure, valve disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or heart defects present at birth can all cause heart failure. In addition, heart failure can occur when several diseases or conditions are present at once.
Cardiologic General Tests
A pacemaker checkup is a regular medical appointment required for all patients who have had a pacemaker (a device that regulates abnormal heart rhythms caused by heart diseases such as arrhythmia) implanted.
The device requires regular monitoring to ensure that it is working properly and according to the unique needs of the wearer. This is done by connecting it to a computer using electrodes that are attached to the patient’s body.
The procedure is completely safe and is facilitated only by trained technicians.

If any abnormalities are found during the checkup, the pacemaker will be adjusted or modified accordingly to meet the goals of treatment and to suit the patient’s current situation.
As the checkup ends, the technician will inform the patient about the status of the device, including its maximum and minimum heart rate limits. The patient will also be reminded about what to watch out for as well as signs of a pacemaker problem that should prompt him to seek medical attention.
If the pacemaker is found to be malfunctioning, is no longer suited to the patient’s heart condition, or simply needs to be replaced, it will be taken out through a minor surgery.
