Time-dependent conditions affecting this system (e.g., heart attack) that pose a threat to the lives of individuals are addressed by the Emergency Cardiology Network through facilities located throughout the country.This section provides information on the facilities that are part of the Emergency Cardiology Network.The centers belonging to the Network are organized into two levels: HUB, with greater complexity, and SPOKE, with lesser complexity. HUB centers are always equipped with a catheterization service to perform endovascular interventions for the treatment of heart attacks, while spoke centers are not always equipped with one, but they accommodate patients in emergencies and ensure continuity of care.The map shows the hubs and spokes and the services available. For patients suffering from heart attacks, it is essential, in order to achieve the best possible clinical outcome, to travel, or be transported, to the nearest catheterization service as quickly as possible. The Find Facilities tool was designed to provide you with as much information as possible about the services available in accredited public and private hospitals.In the “Facility Details” section, you can check the availability of “Transfusion Center” and “Resuscitation Services” for each facility found.These services improve the timeliness of care in the event a patient requires blood and/or intensive care, thus avoiding a potential increase in critical situations related to surgical procedures.
