Heart Center
BPK9 International Hospital Heart Center
At the BPK9 International Hospital Heart Center, we provide comprehensive care for every heart condition. Our services cover everything from routine heart health screenings to the diagnosis and treatment of complex cardiovascular and thoracic diseases for both adults and children.
Our heart center team includes cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, cardio-thoracic surgeons, interventionists, cardiac MRI imaging specialists, and highly skilled nurses, available around the clock. The center is fully equipped with a modern cardiac catheterization laboratory, advanced operating theaters, and a dedicated cardiac intensive care unit (CCU).
We offer minimally invasive heart surgery, off-pump bypass surgery, and non-surgical closure of heart defects using occluding devices. With these advanced treatments, patients experience faster recovery and improved outcomes, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care.
Heart Disease: Why Early Detection Matters
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Thailand and continues to increase across all age groups. Many people remain unaware they have heart disease, as symptoms may not appear in the early stages. Often, it isn’t discovered until noticeable signs like chest pain or, in severe cases, a heart attack occurs.
The good news is that with specialized medical teams and modern technology, heart disease can often be prevented and treated effectively.
Our Specialized Services
Diagnosis and Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
We provide personalized consultation and advanced treatment options for patients with complex or high-risk coronary artery conditions, including:
- Chronic total occlusion
- Narrowing near arterial branches
- Multi-vessel disease
- Patients with previous balloon angioplasty or bypass surgery
- Patients with heart failure, additional medical conditions, or advanced age
- Patients who cannot undergo bypass surgery due to high risk
Advanced treatment techniques include:
- Specialized coronary catheters
- Rotablator for heavily calcified arteries
- Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for precise assessment
- Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for heart support
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe heart or lung failure
Diagnosis and Treatment of Arrhythmias
Our center offers comprehensive care for arrhythmias, from prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation. Services are provided by a specialized team trained in electrophysiology, supported by skilled nurses, radiology technologists, medical technologists, pharmacists, and physiotherapists.
Treatment options include:
- Medication to control heart rhythm
- Temporary and permanent pacemakers
- Electrical cardioversion
- Ablation therapy
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
- Cardiac electrophysiology studies (EP Lab)
- Radiofrequency catheter ablation
- Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD)
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT/CRTD)
- Diagnosis and treatment for congenital arrhythmias
- Comprehensive care for all electrical conduction disorders
Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Valve Disease
We provide specialized care for heart valve disorders with a multidisciplinary team, including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, echocardiography specialists, rehabilitation physicians, and experienced healthcare professionals — supported by modern medical equipment.
Treatment options include:
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
- Closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) via catheter
- Closure of congenital heart defects without open surgery
- Balloon angioplasty and stent placement (PCI)
- Angioplasty for blocked leg arteries (PTA)
- Standard valve replacement or repair surgery
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Open 24/7, our state-of-the-art cath lab is staffed by experienced specialists and equipped for:
- Coronary angiography and imaging
- Balloon angioplasty and stent placement
- Cardiac assist device implantation
- Temporary and permanent pacemakers
- Implantable defibrillators
- Vena cava filter placement
- Non-surgical closure of heart defects
- Electrophysiology for arrhythmias
Comprehensive Diagnostic and Testing Services
- Electrocardiography (ECG): Quick, painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity.
- Exercise stress test (EST): Detects blocked arteries or arrhythmias during exercise.
- Echocardiography:
- Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE): Provides detailed images from inside the esophagus.
- Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE): Non-invasive imaging through the chest wall.
- Stress echocardiography: Assesses heart function under stress (using exercise or medication).
- Holter monitoring: 24–48-hour portable heart rhythm recording.
- Coronary artery calcium scan (CTA): Detects calcium build-up in coronary arteries.
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI): Measures blood flow in leg arteries to detect blockages.
- Dobutamine stress echocardiography: For patients unable to perform treadmill tests.
- Event recorder: Portable device to detect irregular rhythms.
- Tilt table test: Helps diagnose unexplained fainting.
- Coronary angiography (CAG): Uses contrast agent to image coronary arteries.
- Cardiac catheterization: Invasive procedure for diagnosis and treatment.
