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:

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.
