    Ambulatory cardiology care faces challenges with high patient volumes and limited time per patient, impacting quality of care. Recommendations include separating heart and lung specialties and improving resources for better outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Ambulatory cardiology care is crucial for managing cardiovascular diseases.
    • Assessing the current capacity and efficiency of outpatient cardiology services is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reality of ambulatory cardiology care in the Virgen del Rosell, Cartagena region.
    • To analyze patient demographics, disease prevalence, and resource allocation in outpatient cardiology clinics.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of patient visits in five outpatient cardiology clinics.
    • Data collection on patient type, visit frequency, and time spent per patient.

    Main Results:

    • 51.1% of 9,312 patients had cardiologic conditions, with coronary heart disease being most prevalent.

  • Average daily patient load was 21.4, with only 7 minutes and 30 seconds per patient.
  • Increased patient affluence in winter led to less than 6 minutes per patient in some clinics.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current ambulatory cardiology care is strained, with high patient numbers and insufficient time per patient.
    • Recommendations include separating cardiology and pulmonology services, limiting patient numbers, and enhancing technical resources.
