The in-patient unit comprises 32 active beds (Middlecare or CCU). The CCU is the section of the in-patient unit specifically used for patients who:

• suffer from acute cardiac problems: acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure,
• have undergone coronary angioplasty, heart surgery, aortic valvoplasty, or had a pacemaker or defibrillator fitted.

The medical imaging unit team is made up of 4 cardiologists, 1 radiologist, 1 cardiac rhythm specialist and 1 nuclear medicine specialist. Through synergistic collaboration, they research and diagnose all coronary problems.

The following tests are performed at the unit:

• transthoracic echocardiography,
• transœsophageal echocardiography,
• drug-induced stress echocardiography,
• stress echocardiography,
• paediatric ultrasound,
• two-dimensional strain imaging by echocardiography,
• contrast echocardiography,
• three-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography,
• evaluation of ventricular dyssynchrony,
• coronary CT scan,
• stress and drug-induced stress myocardial scintigraphy.
