Internal Medicine

Internal Medicine is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting adults. It addresses a range of common medical conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, hematological, and neurological disorders.

At Ars Medica, located in the heart of North Rome, the Internal Medicine department is led by Dr. Athos Gentile, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics. Our team consists of experienced and highly qualified physicians who utilize the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.

A consultation with an internist is the starting point for any treatment plan, as it provides a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s health, beginning with a thorough medical history and an in-depth physical examination.

This visit is often recommended by primary care physicians to evaluate the patient’s overall physical and mental well-being.

The key areas of focus for our Internal Medicine service include:

• Cardiovascular Diseases: Such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, hypertension, and cardiac arrhythmias.
• Respiratory Diseases: Including pneumonia, chronic obstructive bronchitis, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis.
• Gastrointestinal Diseases: Such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and liver cirrhosis.
• Renal Diseases: Including chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and glomerulonephritis.
• Endocrine Diseases: Such as diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and Addison’s disease.
• Hematological Diseases: Including anemia, leukemia, thrombosis, and embolism.
