Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find out if I'm at risk for cardiovascular disease?
We offer comprehensive cardiovascular risk studies that include tests like ultrasounds and blood analyses to detect potential risk factors.
What is a cardiac check-up and why is it important?
A cardiac check-up is a medical evaluation that allows for early detection of any signs of cardiovascular disease, even before symptoms appear. It is fundamental for the prevention of cardiac events like heart attacks or arrhythmias, especially in people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.
When should I see a cardiologist?
It’s advisable to visit a cardiologist if you experience symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. It’s also important to have regular check-ups if you have cardiovascular risk factors or a family history of heart disease..
What tests are performed during a cardiac check-up?
Depending on the level of check-up, various tests may be performed, including an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress test, Holter monitoring, and blood tests to measure lipid levels and other substances related to cardiovascular health.
What is cardiac rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program that helps people who have had heart problems regain their physical, emotional, and social health. It includes physical exercise, education on lifestyle changes, and emotional support.
What are the benefits of High-Resolution Medicine in cardiology?
High-Resolution Medicine in cardiology allows for rapid and precise diagnosis, which facilitates clinical decision-making and the implementation of personalized treatments in record time, thus improving patient outcomes and experience.
The AGEL Canarias Cardiology Unit offers a comprehensive approach to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We specialize in the early detection and management of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart disease.
We apply the principles of High-Resolution Medicine, which allows us to perform advanced diagnostic tests in record time and develop personalized treatment plans.
We have state-of-the-art technology, such as multi-organ ultrasound, which allows us to perform a detailed evaluation of multiple organs, detecting not only heart problems but also risk factors like fatty liver, which is associated with cardiovascular complications.
Additionally, we conduct cardiovascular risk studies and offer cardiac rehabilitation programs to improve our patients’ quality of life.

The cardiovascular system is complex and subject to a variety of pathologies that, if not detected and treated in time, can have serious consequences. At AGEL Canarias, we treat a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, including:
- Ischemic Heart Disease: Includes conditions like myocardial infarction (heart attack) and angina pectoris, caused by the obstruction of the coronary arteries.
- Heart Failure: A condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, causing fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup.
- Cardiac Arrhythmias: Alterations in heart rhythm that can range from irregular beats to risky situations like atrial fibrillation, which require specialized diagnosis and management.
- High Blood Pressure: Persistent elevation of blood pressure that, if not adequately controlled, can lead to complications such as stroke, kidney failure, or ischemic heart disease.
- Heart Valve Diseases: Conditions that can cause the heart valves to malfunction, such as stenosis or valvular insufficiency, affecting proper blood circulation.
