Featured services
Cardiology
The cardiology clinic at CalatafimiMed offers a high-level specialist service for cardiovascular monitoring and the diagnosis of diseases of the heart and circulation.
Using state-of-the-art equipment we perform echocardiograms, colour Doppler ultrasound scans, electrocardiograms and Holter monitoring: tests designed to identify cardiovascular problems quickly.
The cardiology clinic deals with high blood pressure, arrhythmias and ischaemic heart disease, to prevent cardiovascular damage.
Our cardiologists carry out their visits using the most appropriate diagnostic tools, such as ECG, colour Doppler echocardiography, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour Holter ECG.
The cardiology visit is aimed at identifying any underlying conditions and is always combined with laboratory tests, which provide the support needed for a complete diagnosis.
Services
First cardiology visit
The first cardiology visit is a specialist appointment to assess the health of your heart and cardiovascular system.
During the visit the cardiologist takes a full medical history, assesses any symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, tiredness or shortness of breath, and may carry out a physical examination (blood pressure, listening to the heart).
Depending on the findings, the doctor may prescribe further diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram, echocardiography or a stress test, to reach an accurate diagnosis and plan personalised treatment. 💵 Price: €60

Cardiology follow-up visit
The cardiology follow-up visit is a specialist appointment to monitor the health of your heart and the progress of any cardiovascular condition.
During the visit the cardiologist assesses clinical progress, checks how you are responding to current treatment and may prescribe further diagnostic tests if needed, in order to fine-tune your treatment plan.
💵 Price: €50

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, quick and non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart.
It detects arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities and signs of ischaemia or a heart attack, and assesses overall heart function. It is essential both for the early diagnosis of heart problems and for monitoring known conditions or for routine checks. 💵 Price: €40
📍 Centre: CalatafimiMed 1, Corso Calatafimi 390, Palermo
Colour Doppler echocardiogram
The colour Doppler echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that assesses the structure and function of the heart, showing the blood flow through the heart chambers and valves in order to diagnose abnormalities and monitor cardiovascular conditions. 💵 Price: €90
📍 Centre: CalatafimiMed 1, Corso Calatafimi 390, Palermo
24h Holter - Holter ECG monitoring
Holter ECG monitoring is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart continuously for 24 hours or more, during your normal daily activities.
It is useful to detect occasional arrhythmias and episodes of tachycardia or bradycardia, and to monitor how the heart responds to stress, exercise or medication.
The test gives a detailed picture of the heart rhythm over time, providing valuable information for the diagnosis and management of heart conditions. 💵 Price: €100
