2008
En sus 70 anos de existencia la Sociedad Cubana de Cardiologia ha cumplido las funciones para lo que fue creada y establecidas en los reglamentos de las Sociedades Cientificas como Organizaciones no Gubernamentales. En la etapa prerrevolucionaria sus funciones fueron mas alla de la organizacion y promocion de las reuniones y actividades cientificas pues se preocupo por la existencia de una asistencia cardiologica de calidad adecuada tratando de que se creara oficialmente la especialidad de cardiologia. Se preocupo ademas por la investigacion cientifica cardiologico a traves de sus gestiones por la creacion del Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia asi como de algunos aspectos sociales de la especialidad en nuestro pais al identificar y tratar de solucionar el problema del cardiaco pobre. Ya en 1962, se creo oficialmente la Especialidad de Cardiologia y esto unido a la creacion del Instituto de Cardiologia y Cirugia Cardiovascular en 1966 permitio la formacion de una red cardiologica nacional de caracter gratuito. Asi se crearon servicios de cardiologia en los 14 hospitales provinciales y algunos municipales asi como en los hospitales docentes de ciudad de La Habana. La actividad de cirugia cardiovascular se promovio igualmente a traves de la creacion de Cardiocentros en Santiago de Cuba, Santa Clara y en ciudad de La Habana en los hospitales Hermanos Ameijeiras y CIMEQ. Asi como un Cardiocentro Pediatrico en el hospital William Soler. During its years of existence, Cuban Society of Cardiology has fulfilled those functions for which it was created and estabalished in rules of Scientific Societes as non-govermment organizations. During pre-revolutionay stage, its functions were beyond the organization and promotion of scientific meetings and activities, since it was very concerned about the existence of a cardiologic care of a proper quality trying to creates officially the specialty of Cardiology. It was also concerned about the cardiologic scientific research through its management in creation of National Institute of Cardiology as well as of some social features of specialty in our country identifying and traying to solve the problem related to the poor patients presenting with cardiac disturbances. As long as in 1962, officially Specialty of Cardiology was created, and it, linked with development of Instituye of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery in 1966, allows the creation of a national cardiology network with free services. Thus, also were created services of cardiology in 14 provincial hospitals and some in municipalities as well as en Teaching Hospitals in Santiago de Cuba, Santa Clara, and Havana city in Hermanos Ameijeiras Surgical and Clinical Hoslital and in CIMEQ, as well as a Children Cardiology Center in William Soler Hospital.
