Cardiology

Healthy hearts – Better lives

Vinmec provides high-quality care and treatment for cardiovascular diseases following international standards and is currently one of Vietnam’s largest and most prestigious cardiovascular centers. Vinmec takes a value-based, customer-centric approach to healthcare to improve treatment efficiency and optimize costs for patients. Before treatment, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure the right measures are taken for each patient, and provide optimal treatment results, helping to improve the patient’s quality of life.

By constantly adopting global progressive cardiovascular treatment, the cardiovascular centers at Vinmec Times City International Hospital (Hanoi) and Vinmec Central Park International Hospital (HCMC) have been recognized as Asia’s first cardiology Centers of Excellence (COE).

World-class care

  • Vinmec Times City (Hanoi) is an official member of Cleveland Clinic Connected – a robust program run by Cleveland Clinic (the US), initiated to support hospitals around the world to improve the quality of treatment and care. Regarding the membership, the Cardiology Center of Vinmec Times City meets the most rigorous standards for clinical expertise, patient safety, and patient experience and also benefits from the no. 1 hospital in the US and the world for cardiology for the past 28 years.
  • Vinmec is the first in Asia which has two cardiology centers accredited by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in both Heart failure and Cath-lab. The management and treatment of heart failure and coronary intervention at Vinmec is built following a comprehensive process, from patient admission and emergency examination to inpatient treatment and post-discharge follow-up. The entire treatment process is conducted through specific and strict regulations on professional capacity, treatments and duration, and the number of evaluations and re-examinations to minimize delays and errors, ensuring the quality for patients.

Advanced technologies

  • Vinmec is considered as a pioneer in cardiovascular intervention since the Cardiology Center of Vinmec Central Park (HCMC) has been accredited as the first independent center in Vietnam for transcatheter aortic valve implants (TAVI) and Micra wireless pacemaker implants. Vinmec has implemented these techniques with a 100% success rate, even with elderly, seriously ill patients, or patients with special atopy, without the need for assistance from foreign experts.
  • The Cardiology Center at Vinmec Times City was one of the first hospitals in Vietnam to successfully implement ventricular-assisted artificial heart transplants, offering hope to patients with end-stage heart failure who are awaiting heart transplants.

International partnership

Vinmec has been actively cooperating with major cardiovascular centers in Europe and the United States, such as Paris Descartes University, Georges Pompidou Hospital (France), and the University of Pennsylvania (USA) to adopt the world’s latest progress in cardiovascular treatment.

Cardiology Center includes the areas of Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, and Cardiovascular Surgery. Each unit specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as vascular; heart valves; myocardium; arrhythmia; congenital heart; infected heart, etc.
