Cardiology advancements in Latin America

Overview

Medical advancements in interventional cardiology are being reported across several Latin American nations. In Venezuela, the Venezuelan Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOVECI) scheduled its XXIII Congress in Caracas to provide scientific updates on coronary intervention and structural cardiology. Additionally, the Ciudad Hospitalaria Dr. Enrique Tejera in Valencia has been conducting monthly sessions to treat cardiovascular events using ultrasound-guided punctures.

In Nicaragua, the Hospital Fernando Vélez Paiz has reported performing over 500 coronary procedures and more than 24 transcatheter aortic valve replacements in the past year using minimally invasive catheter techniques. Meanwhile, medical facilities in Mexico have successfully utilized wireless pacemaker technology, with the ISSSTE institute performing implantations in Monterrey, Mexico City, and Culiacán to reduce infection risks.
