Where the group consults:
Within the Sanitas network in Madrid, the Cardiodiagnósticos team consults at Hospital Virgen del Mar (C/ Ntra. Sra. de Luján 25), Hospital Universitario Sanitas La Zarzuela, Hospital Universitario Sanitas La Moraleja-area centres, Hospital La Luz, HM Sanchinarro, Hospital Quirónsalud San José, Hospital Viamed Santa Elena, Centro Médico Habana and Centro Médico Sanitas Conde Duque. This means a Sanitas patient can usually pick the location closest to home or workplace and stay with the same cardiology team.
Booking your appointment:
Sanitas members can book through the Mi Sanitas app or by calling the chosen centre directly. Bring your Sanitas card, photo ID, a list of any current medication, recent blood tests if you have them, and any prior cardiology, ECG or echocardiogram reports. If you are being seen for symptom assessment, jot down what you have noticed (chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, fainting episodes) and when it happens — this is what the cardiologist will ask first.
Languages:
Consultations are conducted in Spanish. If English-language consultation is essential for you, confirm availability when you book.
