Cardiology Division

Message from the Director: Prof. Shmuel Fuchs

The Cardiology Division at the Shamir Medical Center is among the most advanced in Israel. Our team consists of physicians, nurses, technicians, and administrative staff, all dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care at any time. We are committed to offering personalized diagnosis and treatment to each and every one of you, using the latest technologies. Our care often begins with life-saving emergency interventions, followed by intensive care hospitalization, and extends over months and years through our cardiology clinics and Heart Institute services. Our strength lies in personalized medicine, tailoring both personal attention and professional care to each patient’s unique medical condition. This individualized approach is our pride and distinction, as attested by the many patients we have treated.

The Cardiology Division offers comprehensive services in several units:

  • The Intensive Cardiac Care and Intermediate Cardiac Care Units, treating patients with acute heart conditions.
  • The Interventional Cardiology Unit performs advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • The electrophysiology unit specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
  • The Heart Institute offers a personalized, multidisciplinary cardiac care program.
  • The Echocardiography Unit, conducting a wide range of advanced tests.
  • The Cardiac Imaging Services, performing monitoring via cutting-edge CT and MRI technology.

We hope your stay has supported your full recovery. We understand the concern and anxiety that come with heart disease and its complications, and our team is committed to reducing these fears. Continuing the treatment and ensuring continuous follow-up care is key to improving your health. We encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and are here to support you in achieving this goal.
