Crotone Cardiology Unit Launch
Entities: San Giovanni di Dio Hospital (Crotone) · Crotone · An angioplasty · Emodinamica Unit · Annalisa Mongiardo
Overview
In late July 2026 the San Giovanni di Dio Hospital in Crotone, Calabria, opened an Emodinamica (cardiology) department to provide urgent cardiovascular care locally and curb inter‑provincial transfers. The unit began operating from 08:00 to 20:00 with a plan for 24‑hour coverage, staffed by five specialist physicians and a dedicated nursing team.
Within the first five days the department performed 20 emergency procedures, including five angioplasties. New details confirm that 36 interventional cardiologists were recruited, some from outside the region, to staff the service.
Two high‑risk cases were highlighted: a 44‑year‑old man from Turin was transferred to the operating theatre within 30 minutes and successfully treated for a coronary occlusion, and a 36‑year‑old woman who suffered sudden cardiac arrest was stabilised and underwent primary angioplasty. Both patients remain hospitalized and are reported to be improving.
Director General Antonio Graziano described the Emodinamica as an indispensable lifesaving presumption for the territory, underscoring its immediate impact on patient safety and regional emergency response.
