Andalusia enhances cardiovascular emergency response

The 061 Andalucía Heart Program treated 2,657 patients with acute myocardial infarction during 2025, activating the ‘Código Infarto’ protocol on 1,847 occasions. According to the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), the program currently has approximately 20,000 registered patients in the region, providing a surveillance and preventive care system for those with cardiovascular risks.

In Málaga, Quirónsalud Hospital has reinforced its emergency response by operating two hemodynamics rooms 24/7, 365 days a year. This facility allows for primary angioplasty to treat acute myocardial infarction by restoring blood flow through catheters and stents. The hospital is noted as the first private center in Andalusia to provide two such rooms to ensure rapid intervention regardless of the time or day.
