大阪暁明館病院心臓血管病センターの診療、活動内容

卓越した専門家集団

診療、研究、教育を民間病院にいながら少人数でコンパクトに行ってきました。

論文や症例報告もベテランの先生方が指導して皆ふつうに書いています。ACC、AHA、日本循環器病学会その他学会では、常に新しい知見を発表しています。

国内外から見学の先生方が来られています。

常識にとらわれない、はやりに惑わされない

診療にもはやりすたりがあります。それを追いかけて昨日と真逆のことを「海外のエビデンス」などと傾向が変わったことは一つ二つ経験したことがあるでしょう。

なぜ、真逆のことがこれまでいいと思われてきたのか、では今度逆になるにはどういう背景があるか考えると、トレンドに流されないようになります。

基本の上に革新がある

医学を変える発見の余地はそこかしこにあります。それを見つける繰り返しを行い、今後どの分野に行っても考え方の基本を身につけることができます。

これからの医学すべてを網羅する鍵を持っています

冠動脈だけではなく、大動脈、そして動脈硬化、老化、認知症すべてが専門分野だというと、理屈ばかり述べ立てていると思うかもしれません。

これらの分野を実際深く考え、大きく常識を変える鍵を持っているのは我々です。
