Servicio Madrileño de Salud (SERMAS) is the overarching administrative and management structure for every public hospital and public health service of the Madrid Regional Health System. In this project SERMAS is the legal representative of Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC). HCSC has circa 1,200 beds, employs over 5,000 professionals, and is the main referral centre for training of health professionals from the Complutense University of Madrid.
The Radiation Oncology Department of HCSC offers the newest technologies, treating approximately 1200 patients/year, using different treatment techniques (3D, IMRT, VMAT, SBRT, Radiosurgery, HDR. Brachytherapy). The department has extensive experience in treating patients with SBRT for lung cancer and other malignancies, both in the daily clinic and as part of national clinical trials.
The Electrophysiology unit of the Cardiology department is composed of 6 cardiologists with a specialization in the field of arrhythmias. The team has extensive experience with complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation: since 2000 they have performed more than 1500 AF ablation procedures using radiofrequency or cryoablation techniques. Their studies comparing both techniques have been published in the most prestigious international journals in arrhythmias. Similarly, they have treated more than 1000 patients with accessory pathways, nodal re-entrant tachycardia, atrial and VTs.
