The ARCHIMEDE DMU brings together the departments and units involved in the management of acute and chronic cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and certain rare pathologies in the Sorbonne University Hospital Group.
The aim of this DMU is to provide a coherent range of care for these diseases in eastern Paris and to improve care pathways within teams that have a long history of working together and a high profile locally, nationally and internationally.
Department of Cardiology

Its medical and paramedical team specialising in cardiothoracic CT and MRI has a dedicated technical platform within the Heart Institute, where it has developed numerous cross-disciplinary collaborations and a high profile.
The ICT team is involved in research as part of the ICAN IHU’s MRI platform and imaging core lab, and several of its doctors are long-standing members of the cardiovascular team at the LIB biomedical imaging laboratory (INSERM/CNRS).
The team is also active in teaching at Sorbonne University and is a member of the ESCR European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology network and theESOR European School of Radiology. Its members are active in the French Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (SFICV) and the French Society of Thoracic Imaging (SIT).
