The Cardiology Institute at Rambam Medical Center
The Cardiology Institute holds a leading position in cardiac medical research, conducted in close cooperation with the medical faculty of Technion University. The Institute is also a center for education and vocational training for medical students, interns, nurses, and radiologists.
The attending staff of the Cardiology Institute consists of highly qualified cardiologists, as well as physicians from other medical professions. Nurses working at the Cardiology Institute undergo additional training in cardiac resuscitation.
The therapeutic and diagnostic process at the Cardiology Institute at Rambam is carried out in accordance with the most modern standards of cardiology worldwide. The Institute of Cardiology houses a laboratory that allows the instant undertaking of all types of blood tests and the identification of cardiovascular pathologies.
Diseases and Treatment Procedures
Aortic Valve Repair and Aortic Valve Replacement
Treating diseases that impact the aortic valve often require an aortic valve repair or aortic valve replacement procedure. There are four valves in the heart that are responsible for blood flow and maintaining the flow in the right direction.

Coronary bypass surgery, also known as CABG, allows blood to flow around a portion of a partially or fully blocked artery in the heart. This surgical procedure improves circulation by diverting the blood to flow through a different pathway to reach your heart.

The treatment of Angina is based on the use of medications to expand the lumen of the coronary vessels in order to prevent a heart attack. Drugs are used to reduce the energy requirements of the heart muscle and to ensure a sufficient volume of blood flow.
Myocardial Infraction
The main medical intervention performed in the treatment of an acute heart attack is the dissolution of a thrombus (thrombolysis), which is carried out with the help of intravenously administered medications.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease that can lead to serious consequences, such as the development of Angina Pectoris, Myocardial infractions, and strokes.
The Department of Cardiac Surgery at Rambam Hospital carries out complex Atherosclerosis treatment though the use of standard and innovative therapy methods.
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart muscle. The walls of the ventricles of the heart are damaged, resulting in acute heart failure.
Cardiomyopathy can also cause life-threatening Arrhythmia. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), Cardiomyopathy caused more than 27,000 deaths in 2003.
Mitral Valve damage
Two types of medical interventions exist to resolve Mitral Valve issues. If the calcification of the valve is negligible, Balloon Valvuloplasty is performed. For patients with severe damage to the valves, severe calcification, and significant disease duration, the optimal treatment is an operation to restore or replace the valve.
Mitral Stenosis complications
Prosthetic repair is performed through the use of an artificial mechanical heart valve to repair significant valve damage. In Israel, a qualitatively new approach to the replacement of a damaged valve is applied – a mitral heart valve transplant through catheterization.
Heart defects in children
There is a significant number of heart defect conditions that begin during the development of the fetal heart structure in the early stages of pregnancy. If such defects are detected and treated at an early age through surgical intervention or Coronary Angiography, normal function of the heart can be restored.
Diagnosis and treatment of heart failure
The treatment of heart failure has several objectives, such as preventing the progress of the disease and episodes of deterioration, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of death.
Areas of medical intervention include: regulation and control of the volume of fluid and electrolyte levels, oxygen supply to the body, selection of optimal medications, and invasive or surgical interventions (in case all other methods have not produced results).
Cardiac catheterization
The procedure for cardiac catheterization is carried out for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes on diseases of the cardiovascular system. This procedure is widely used in modern Cardiology because it provides detailed information on the condition of the heart chambers, valves, and vessels in a minimally invasive way. In addition, the procedure allows, if necessary, for the conduction of effective intervention in order to optimally resolve the problem.
Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms
Aneurysm rapture is a life-threatening condition. In the Department of Vascular Surgery at Rambam Medical Center, highly qualified surgical treatment of Aortic Aneurysms is carried out via both planned and urgent operations.
