| Chest pain Center : |
The Heart Institute recognizes the various etiology of the chest discomfort, most of which are benign but some can be lethal. Single stop phone call can make a different in life and dead situation.
One phone call can initiate an urgent pick up by a CCU type of ambulance. Field physician Cardiologist can quickly triage the patient for appropriate path. In case of Heart of Acute Coronary Attack, rapid administration at clot lysis agent can be life saving. In others, urgent transport to Cardiac Catheterization facility for Balloon Angioplasty procedure can be done. The Phuket Heart Institute, Chest Pain Center provides the 24 hours service for the client who has chest discomfort due to Acute Coronary Attack |

| Invasive |
| |
Cardiac Catheterisation is an invasive procedure, which is used to evaluate the condition of the heart valve and its vessels. It can also be used to determine if there is any stenosis or obstruction of the < arteries which supply blood to heart muscles.
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
(with or without stent) is a technique used to open up the stenotic vessels by placing a "balloon" with or without a stent into the stenotic area of the blood vessels.
Valvuloplasty is a technique that is used to enlarge the stenotic heart valves, without having to change or repair the valves by an operation.
Pacemaker Implantation is used to treat a slow heartbeat.
Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) Implantation is used, just like the Pacemaker, for patients who run a risk to get a (fatal) heart attack. The AICD is more advanced than a Pacemaker. The AICD converts the heart's electrical impulse to better-organised beating.
Radio-frequency Catheter Ablation is used for patients who have had an experienced palpitation (fast heartbeat), caused by an abnormal electrical impulse in the heart. |

| Non-Invasive Investigation Laborator |
| |
Most of the initial work up for those at risk or suspicious of having heart disease can be done with simple and painless yet sophisticated technology
Radio-frequency Catheter Ablation is used for patients who have had an experienced palpitation (fast heartbeat), caused by an abnormal electrical impulse in the heart. |
| |
• |
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a method used for basic investigation for several heart diseases. |
| • |
Exercise Stress Test (EST) is used to monitor the ECG and blood pressure during exercise and possible cause of the chest pain. |
| • |
Echocardiography (Echo) is a method of using ultrasound to exam the heart and inside structure. |
| • |
Exercise Stress Echo is used to monitor the heart and the condition of the muscles of the heart, before and after exercising. |
| • |
Dynamic Electrocardiography (DCG) Holter monitor is an ECG but registering the heartbeat for 24 hours. This method is used to see if the heartbeat is normal and to indicate any cause of palpitation. |
| • |
Dobutamine Stress Echo uses the drug "Dobutamine" to make heart
beat faster as if during exercise. |
| • |
Transesophageal Echo is a technique used when an echocardiography does not give enough detailed information. |
| • |
Tilt Table Test is used for patients who experience a dysfunction of an autonomic nervous system which control the heart. |
| • |
Carotid Duplex Scan is used to evaluate the narrowing of the carotid vessel, by using ultrasound technology. |

| Heart Surgery |
| |
 |
Dr.Kit Arom, MD,PhD in Surgery, a world renown cardiac surgeon who spent over 30 years at the Minneapolis Heart Institute in Minnesota USA, leads the cardiac surgeon team of the Bangkok Heart Institute.
Heart Surgery requires a highly experienced and dedicated team of specialists. The cardiac surgeon team and specialized nurses work closely together. They monitor and observe the patient's condition from the very beginning throughout post operative period.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery :
is used for patients who suffer from ischemic heart diseases. The cardiac surgeons use this technique either with or without a heart-lung machine (Off Pump surgery). Avoiding the heart lung machine eliminates all of its potential side effects.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery :
The specialists use a small incision to avoid the damage to the tissue. This leaves the patient with less pain, less complication and fast recovery. |
|
| |
All Arterial Conduits :
Using arterial conduits eliminates leg incision, arterial conduits last longer than the commonly used saphenous vein.
We offer the best surgical treatment of coronary artery disease in this region of the world by a combination of small incision, Off-Pump surgery and all arterial conduits.
Besides coronary artery bypass surgery, we also provide all other cardiothoracic surgeries: |
| |
• |
Heart Valve Surgery |
| • |
Vascular surgery |
| • |
Aorta, Carotid and other Arterial Surgery |
| • |
Arrhythmia Surgery |
|
|
| |
| |
| Cardiac Rehabilitation Program |
| |
| Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is for the rehabilitation of cardiac patients and those with high risk of heart disease. |
