This award, presented during the 2026 SEC Congress (Congress of Cardiovascular Diseases of the Spanish Society of Cardiology), validates the multidisciplinary and coordinated work between the hospital's Cardiology and Nephrology departments. The unit stands out for its focus on highly complex patients.
The specific clinic of the Cardiorenal Unit is staffed by a cardiologist specializing in heart failure and a nephrologist specializing in extracorporeal purification techniques and chronic kidney disease. Between January and October 2026, this clinic handled 495 visits.
The Nursing staff plays a crucial role, performing tasks such as taking vital signs, manual peritoneal dialysis changes, and providing health education on heart and kidney failure. This care model has optimized diagnosis, reduced readmissions, and improved the prognosis for patients.
Hospital professionals emphasize that this Unit is a clear example of the importance of service coordination and a multidisciplinary approach for joint decision-making, leading to better patient care.
