The Centre in Nowy Sącz, located near Krakow, has been operating in two locations since 2005, serving the health needs of 550,000 inhabitants in the region. Our facilities include two fully equipped cardiology departments (with intensive cardiac care units and an angiology subunit) and three hemodynamic laboratories. Intercard offers comprehensive treatment for patients with cardiac diseases, covering diagnostics, conservative treatment (including acute and decompensated heart failure), invasive treatment of coronary vessels (including acute coronary syndromes), the implementation of implantable devices (pacemakers, cardioverters-defibrillators), resynchronization systems, myocardial ablation procedures, coronary rotablation, cryoablation, and treatment for patients with heart defects (patent foramen ovale – PFO, atrial septal defect – ASD). We also handle complex coronary procedures for patients with main stem diseases and multi-vessel diseases, as well as diagnostics for coronary microcirculation dysfunction.
Our cardiology services are complemented by a Multi-profile Surgery Centre and an Imaging Diagnostics Centre (X-ray, CT scan), offering top-tier modern orthopaedics and general surgery. With extensive cardiovascular diagnostics, we can confirm or rule out coronary artery disease, assess its severity, and plan invasive diagnostics, coronary angioplasty procedures, and TAVI procedures.
The Centre also operates a cardiac rehabilitation unit, where we tailor individual rehabilitation programs to the patient's health condition and capabilities. The entire rehabilitation process is supervised by a team of qualified physiotherapy experts in cooperation with a cardiologist. To enhance rehabilitation outcomes, we provide health education and consultations in dietetics and psychology.
We are actively implementing the KOS – Myocardial Infarction Programme, a one-year comprehensive cardiological care initiative for patients post-myocardial infarction, encompassing hospital treatment, outpatient care, and rehabilitation. The patient's treatment is coordinated by a dedicated Coordinator who supports them throughout the program.
In addition, as part of the Clinic Research Centre, Intercard team conducts and develops innovative research and clinical observations. We participate in international research programs, becoming an integral part of modern, technologically advanced medicine.
Our strengths lie in our many years of experience, a highly qualified team of professionals, and access to technological innovations. Our daily work is driven by a focus on patient well-being, ensuring high-quality care based on commitment to clinical practice, education, innovation, and collaboration.
