SPES is the only hospital in the region that has dual-plane, full body catheterization visualization equipment. This unique state-of-the-art technology allows the doctor to see not only the heart, but veins and arteries that may be blocked in other parts of the body.

The lab houses a state-of-the-art procedure room equipped to perform numerous heart and vessels imaging studies and provide treatments. In addition, we have recovery rooms that are monitored, for post-procedure care, which in effect means cardiologists can identify diagnoses and treat a multitude of heart problems.
