摘要
Introduction: The relationship between family doctors and the cardiologist in Primary Health Care (PHC) Team is important to ensure quality care. Objective: To assess the results of carrying out clinical sessions with the cardiologist in a PHC Centre. Methods: Descriptive study in a PHC Centre in Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain. Family doctors presented clinical cases to the cardiologist in order to solve diagnosis treatment problems. We registered clinical-epidemiology information, type of referral, cardiologist decision, and number of referrals to cardiology department avoided. Results: 99 patients were included from February 2016 to June 2017, who were presented by 14 family doctors. Cause of consultation: 52.5 % were EKG abnormalities. Problems: 39.1% were EKG doubts, 9.1% chest pain, 9.1% palpitations, 8.1% arrhythmia. A 70.7% of patients avoided being referred to the cardiology department. Conclusions: The bimonthly consultation avoids having to make a great amount of patient appointments at Hospital and is extremely appreciated by family doctors.
