Approach to heart failure – 36th International Day of the Monaco Cardiothoracic Center

Heart failure can be considered a veritable epidemic due to its prevalence. In France, it affects around 1.5 million people, a figure that is set to rise in line with the aging population.
Due to the diversity of its causes, this condition affects all areas and subspecialties of cardiology and cardiac surgery. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to greatly improve the quality of life and life expectancy of patients. Drug treatments, pacemakers and defibrillators, percutaneous approaches, and surgery were addressed and discussed during this International Day.

At the end of this enriching Day, Professor René Prêtre presented “The Fabulous History of Heart Transplantation,” an epic worthy of the best Hollywood screenplays, and Luc Ferry presented “The Symbolism of the Heart, Between Philosophy, Science, and Mythology.”

 

 

 

CCM and Siemens Healthineers: research partnership renewed

Wednesday, 16 July 2025, Siemens Healthineers and the Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Centre (CCM) signed a 5-year renewal of their research partnership, which has been in place for 15 years.

This collaboration covers all the CCM’s areas of expertise, in particular imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, angiography) and AI.

The main aim of this strategic collaboration is to implement and develop innovative multimodal cardiovascular imaging solutions, which today play a decisive role in diagnosis, therapeutic choices and the efficient improvement of patient care.

The Free Theme Award, all categories combined, for the CCM at the 2025 Clap Festival of the CCI Nice Côte d’Azur!

A very beautiful reward for the Center, the only establishment in Monaco to compete during this 2025 Festival, initiated by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nice Côte d’Azur.

An important and unanimous recognition of the expertise, the kindness of the CCM teams and technological innovation. The Clap Festival aims to promote the human values of Azurean companies and highlight their commitment. This year, 16 companies were selected for their creative short films and 5 prizes were awarded by a jury mobilized to distinguish the inventiveness, authenticity and impact of the messages brought to the screen.

Our film, directed by Nicolas Fogliarini, from the RR3 FILMS agency, has therefore seduced the jury and the public of this Festival, with the story it tells… a true, moving story, where there is no actor, just the ‘real’ patient and the real medical teams of the Center mobilized to save a life.
