Genetic Testing…In Search of Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) can be one of the most challenging conditions to treat. Once a plaque builds up on the arterial wall, it can lead to blockage, which can cause a heart attack.
Aortic Disease: The Silent Predator
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease found to increase COVID-19 severity
The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis and it has become the greatest challenge we have recently encountered. Based on currently available information obtained from clinical studies, conclusive evidence indicating that patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease are more susceptible to the infections has not been derived yet.

Cardiac arrest – the abrupt loss of heart function that silently kills people without warning sign

Five abnormal signs that might indicate heart disease in the kids
Heart disease does not only occur in adults and the elderly, newborn babies and kids can also develop cardiac disease.
Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery
The heart has four valves: the tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral and aortic valves. To keep blood flowing in the correct direction, these valves have tissue flaps (leaflets or cusps) that open and close during each heartbeat. In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in the heart does not function properly.
Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery Lobectomy – The New Surgical Technique for Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in Thailand. Lung cancer typically does not cause signs and symptoms in its earliest stages. Signs and symptoms of lung cancer typically occur only when the disease is advanced.
Coronary Artery Calcium Scan (CAC) – A test to detect calcified plaque on the walls of the heart’s arteries
Coronary Artery Calcium Scan (CAC) is an imaging test used to detect the atherosclerotic plaque that forms on the artery walls of the heart. This plaque is made up of calcium, fats, cholesterol and other substances. Over time, plaque buildup hardens and narrows the arteries, resulting in limited blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body. This plaque can burst, triggering a blood clot and causing life-threatening events such as heart attack.

MIS TOTAL BODY Aneurysm with Surgery
Aortic aneurysm surgery has 2 types: open surgery, and Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), which involves the insertion of a stent graft via a catheter. The long-term outcomes of EVAR are equivalent to those of open surgery. Importantly, minimally invasive surgery allows patients to recover more quickly and has a lower mortality rate.
