Cardiologie Centra Nederland

Cardiologie Centra Nederland (CCN) is one of the Netherlands' largest independent cardiology networks, operating 12 outpatient clinics from Amsterdam to Eindhoven. The organisation focuses exclusively on cardiac diagnostics and non-invasive treatment, serving both referred patients and self-pay individuals who choose to have their cardiac health evaluated without a GP referral. The Amsterdam Slotervaart clinic is located at Louwesweg 6 in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, within the former Slotervaart Hospital complex — a hub for specialist outpatient care. The site is well connected by public transport (tram and bus lines from central Amsterdam, approximately 15 minutes) and offers paid parking on-site. CT cardiac examinations at CCN are classified as extra onderzoeken — additional diagnostic procedures outside the Dutch basic insurance package (basisverzekering) and settled directly by the patient or through supplementary private insurance. The coronary calcium score (CT Calciumscore) is a non-contrast, low-dose study that takes approximately five minutes of scan time; the result is expressed as an Agatston score. CT coronary angiography (CCTA) adds intravenous contrast to delineate the coronary lumen and identify significant stenoses as a non-invasive alternative to catheter angiography. Cardiologists are present at every consultation to explain results in context. If findings warrant further investigation, CCN coordinates next steps within its network or with the patient's own specialist.
