Heart and Cardiovascular Center, Pitsanuvej Hospital

Comprehensive Heart Disease Diagnosis and Treatment with Advanced Technology and Specialized Cardiologists

The Heart and Cardiovascular Center at Pitsanuvej Hospital provides comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care for patients with cardiovascular and heart diseases. Services are available for both outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) care under the supervision of experienced cardiologists, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons (CVT), and multidisciplinary medical teams.

Equipped with advanced cardiac and thoracic technologies, the center delivers accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and high standards of patient safety. Our services cover a wide range of heart and vascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, and syncope, as well as preventive cardiac screening for high-risk individuals.

The center also provides care for patients with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking, obesity, and family history of heart disease.
