Led by Professor François Mach, the HUG cardiology service aims for healthcare optimization through multidisciplinary management of cardiovascular conditions. Everything is organized around the patient so that he can benefit from the diagnostic investigations and the treatments he needs in the best conditions and as quickly as possible.

Patient care is at the center of our activity. The cardiology department takes care of a wide range of patients, both from outpatient and the in-hospital settings. In addition, doctors from the department are called upon to act as consultants for other medical services in the Geneva University Hospitals, especially intensive care and medico-surgical emergencies.
Patient management can be done in inpatient units, but the use of modern technology allows an increasing number of situations to be managed on an outpatient basis.
The cardiology division ensures the optimal care of adult patients suffering from cardiovascular disease in a setting where high skills meet cutting-edge care and technology. It also develops innovative prevention and education strategies to promote health. Its academic and university attachment allows it to offer high-level pre- and post-graduate education, aimed particularly at the medical community around Lake Geneva. Finally, several groups within the cardiology department carry out research activities, mostly clinical but also fundamental, in the field of cardiovascular diseases with a wide coverage going from arteries to devices.
