Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino

Fully integrated into the public healthcare system of the Cantonal Hospital Authority since January 1, 2021, Cardiocentro Ticino was established as a private foundation in 1995 thanks to the efforts of its financier, Dr. Eduard Zwick, and the tireless and forward-thinking commitment of Prof. Tiziano Moccetti, who has been at the helm for over twenty years since its inauguration on July 1, 1999.
Today, Cardiocentro is not only an indispensable facility in the region for the prevention and treatment of heart disease, but also an internationally renowned center, a leader in research and strongly committed to training, with important and ongoing medical and scientific relationships with renowned universities and research institutes in Switzerland and around the world. More recently, Cardiocentro has made its expertise and facilities available for the organization and launch of the new Faculty of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Lugano, playing a leading role in the Master's program in human medicine launched in 2020.
