The Institute of Cardiology arose in 1954 as a laboratory service. In 1958, Dr. Euryclides Zerbini and Dr. Adib Jatene became members of the heart surgeons’ group. The Institute’s building was inaugurated in 1970, coinciding with the retirement of Dr. Dante Pazzanese. Hence in 1975 the hospital became known as Dante Pazzanese Cardiology Institute - IDPC, in honor of its founder. The Institute provides medical and hospital services and performs investigations and research in the cardiovascular area, including development of new techniques, equipment, procedures, practices and drugs, and is known worldwide as one of the most reputed institutions in the cardiovascular area.
