The Comprehensive Cardiology Unit has had a prominent role in the meeting “New evidence in cardiology: strategic impact on healthcare management”, held on March 17, 2026 at the Casa del Corazón (Madrid).
The event was under the scientific direction of Dr. Roberto Martín Reyes, along with Dr. Leticia Fernández-Friera and Dr. David Martí Sánchez, consolidating the unit's leadership in the field of innovation and clinical updates in cardiology.
Scientific leadership and multidisciplinary participation
In addition to the scientific direction, numerous specialists from the Unit have actively participated as speakers in different blocks of the program, contributing their experience in key areas of modern cardiology.
On clinical areaDr. Alicia Castillo Sandoval and Dr. Teresa Alvarado Casas analyzed the impact of heart failure units on clinical outcomes. In the same session, Dr. Mario Baquero Alonso addressed the organization of the secondary prevention process, focusing on LDL cholesterol control as a key element in reducing cardiovascular risk.
In the field of interventionismDr. Jorge Palazuelos Molinero analyzed new strategies in coronary angioplasty, focusing on alternatives to stents, such as drug-eluting balloons, as well as advanced plaque modification techniques and their impact on reducing reinterventions and costs.
For its part, in the area of arrhythmias and electrophysiologyDr. Juan Benezet Mazuecos presented the advances in ablation of atrial fibrillationComparing technologies such as cryoablation and pulsed field, and delving into the optimal selection of patients and the results in efficacy and safety.
In the block of cardiac imagingDr. Alejandra Carbonell San Román highlighted the value of 3D echocardiography and advanced TEE in structural accuracy and interventional guidance. Likewise, Dr. Angélica Romero Daza presented the role of cardiac CT and MRI in the evolution of [the condition]. diagnosis Cardiovascular, from anatomical evaluation to phenotype characterization and prognosis, including its application in TAVI planning, coronary study, calcium score and assessment of cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, viability and fibrosis.
A strategic approach to modern cardiology
The meeting brought together clinical experts, managers and representatives from the insurance sector to analyze how the latest scientific evidence can be translated into real improvements in clinical practice, care pathways and the sustainability of the healthcare system.
Throughout the day, key issues such as resource efficiency, the implementation of new technologies, and the measurement of health outcomes were addressed, consolidating a strategic vision of cardiology based on value.
Commitment to excellence
The extensive participation of professionals from the Comprehensive Cardiology Unit in this national forum reinforces its position as a benchmark in the comprehensive approach to cardiovascular disease, as well as its commitment to innovation, research and continuous improvement of the quality of care.
