The Cuban Society of Cardiology (SCC) celebrates its 87th anniversary this September 11th, a date that is a reason to congratulate the health professionals who chose and practice this complex specialty.
For this reason, the date will be celebrated for the first time this year, having been instituted by the Cuban Society of Cardiology Governing Board, which brings together these experts with the aim of contributing to the development of medical research and the subsequent application of the achievements of science and technology.
According to the cardiologist and president of the Holguin Chapter of said society, Reyber Jesus Dominguez Perez, “cardiologists, cardiology residents, cardiovascular surgeons, nurses, male nurses and technicians linked to the specialty and specialists from other disciplines who maintain a link with ours are part of this chapter”.
In salute to the date, several activities have been conceived, mainly educational, through promotion by different means, either in the mass media, in social networks, through scientific events of our own and other related specialties.
Domínguez Pérez, who has also specialized in the implantation of pacemakers, explained that “our first cardiologist was Dr. Edel Lachataignerais Popa, who began to provide services in 1978. However, specialists from other provinces and Dr. Eduardo De Valle Morejón, who acted as cardiologist of the General Teaching Hospital Vladimir Ilich Lenin, since its foundation, provided services before that”.
The Holguin Chapter of the Cuban Society of Cardiology was founded on March 1, 2012, with Dr. Edel as its president, since its inception has recognized the professionals of this specialty outstanding in their work.
At present, the province of Holguin, outside Havana, Santa Clara and Santiago de Cuba, where there are Cardiocenters, is the only one where elective cardiac surgeries have been performed, a task inaugurated by Doctor in Sciences Delfin Rodriguez Mulet.
In the history of this Chapter in this northeastern territory, there have been two Symposiums on the Updated Multidisciplinary Approach to Arterial Hypertension, with wide dissemination and participation of health professionals and great contributions to the specialty.
Precisely, in the last symposium, 10 outstanding professionals were recognized for the first time with the distinction Master of Cardiology in Holguin for their dedication, relevant merits in the assistance, teaching, research and dedication to the specialty. In addition, the First Provincial Day of Cardiology was held in September 2023.
Congratulations to the Cuban cardiologists, especially to the 81 members of the Holguin Chapter of the SCC, which is the largest in the country in terms of number of active and full members.
