There is no waiting list at the PULSE Cardiology Center, and the fast-track approach to diagnosis and treatment means that the patient receives a diagnosis within two hours. Patients are offered modern diagnostic solutions, from a complete cardiology examination, through radiological diagnostics using the most modern Philips 128-slice CT scanner and the most modern equipped Cath-lab, which enables all types of angiography, catheterization and placement of stents in a minimally invasive way.

EXPERTS OF THE “PULSE” CARDIOLOGY CENTER CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF WATER POLO PLAYERS AND FIREFIGHTERS
Among the first patients were members of the “Matica” fire brigade from Zemun, to whom experts from the PULSE Cardiology Center performed a total heart examination and a CT scan of the lungs. Firefighters are exposed to stressful and risky situations every day, and in the previous period they showed their heroic heart by putting out fires in the country and the region, so they first of all deserve professional medical care that can only be provided by the expert team of the newly opened cardiology center.
Also, the Pulse Cardiology Center takes care of the health of our national water polo heroes, and the Water Polo Federation of Serbia presented a ball with the signatures of our champions as a sign of gratitude.
At the PULSE Cardiology Center, the emphasis is on rapid and high-quality diagnosis and therapy in one place, without wasting time, which is often valuable in acute cardiac conditions.
