Heart Center, Bangkok Rayong Hospital is a Center of Excellence in cardiovascular care, providing comprehensive services ranging from prevention and early-stage diagnosis to advanced treatment using cardiac catheterization and vascular laboratories, as well as state-of-the-art cardiac rehabilitation.
Our team of specialist cardiologists and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals is fully equipped to manage all cardiac and vascular conditions with the highest medical standards.
Cardiac Diagnostic Services
-
Comprehensive cardiac diagnosis and risk-based heart disease screening tailored to individual risk profiles
-
Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA): A cardiac imaging technique to evaluate coronary artery stenosis, occlusion, or other abnormalities, and to monitor outcomes after coronary artery surgery. Contrast media is administered to enhance image quality.
-
Echocardiography: A safe ultrasound-based examination to assess heart size, myocardial contractility, valve function, pericardial effusion, chamber enlargement, and congenital heart disease—potential causes of shortness of breath or chest discomfort.
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Detects abnormalities such as arrhythmias, transient cardiac arrest, myocardial ischemia, and abnormal heart enlargement.
-
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): Assessment of peripheral arterial disease risk.
-
Exercise Stress Test (EST): Evaluates cardiac and vascular performance by monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG during treadmill exercise with adjustable speed and incline.
-
CT Calcium Score: Assesses the risk of coronary artery disease, especially when combined with other risk factors, to support effective preventive planning.
-
Tilt Table Test: Evaluates causes of dizziness, lightheadedness, or syncope related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
-
Holter Monitoring (24-hour ECG): Continuous ECG recording for patients with intermittent symptoms not captured during standard ECG, to correlate daily activities with cardiac rhythm changes.
Advanced Cardiac Treatment Technologies
-
Coronary Angiography (CAG): Detailed imaging of coronary arteries.
-
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Balloon angioplasty and/or stent placement to treat coronary artery stenosis without open-heart surgery.
-
PTCA & Stent Placement: Minimally invasive treatment using balloon dilation and stents to maintain arterial patency, performed by specialized cardiology teams with advanced equipment to maximize safety and effectiveness.
-
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: For patients with abnormally slow heart rhythms.
-
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): For patients at high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest.
-
Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: High-frequency energy delivered via catheter to eliminate abnormal electrical pathways and restore normal heart rhythm.
-
Critical Care Management in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
The Cardiac ICU provides advanced care for critically ill cardiac patients and those undergoing cardiac interventions, including post–cardiac catheterization care for conditions such as:
-
Acute myocardial ischemia
-
Acute heart failure
-
Cardiac arrhythmias
-
Pulmonary embolism
-
Post-PCI (balloon angioplasty or stent placement)
-
Pacemaker implantation
-
Cardiac ablation
Patients receive close monitoring by experienced cardiologists and professional nursing staff, supported by advanced medical equipment for rapid response to emergencies. Care emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on pain relief, comfort, and patient safety throughout hospitalization.
Inpatient Cardiac Ward Care
The Cardiac and Vascular Inpatient Ward provides step-down care following ICU treatment. Rooms are private and equipped with patient monitors, defibrillators, and specialized cardiac devices to ensure prompt emergency response.
The ward also serves as a center for cardiac rehabilitation, with coordinated care from a multidisciplinary team—including physical therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, and psychologists—to develop discharge plans, home care guidance, and follow-up appointments.
Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Led by rehabilitation physicians and experienced physical therapists, using standardized equipment, the program aims to restore physical function and improve cardiac performance, enabling patients to return to normal daily life and reducing the risk of recurrent coronary disease.
Services include:
-
Disease-specific cardiac exercise rehabilitation programs
-
Self-care counseling, activity guidance, and return-to-work preparation
-
Home-based exercise programs
-
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) for functional capacity assessment
-
