Cardiovascular Center
cardiology, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
Cardiovascular Center is the best ‘certified cardiovascular intervention operation’ medical institute in South Gyeonggi area that is capable of diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases such as hypertension, arrhythmia, angina and myocardial infarction as well as coronary angiography and PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention).
- Types of cardiac test: electrocardiography, Holter monitoring, 24hr BP monitoring, myocardium scan, tilt table test, exercise stress test, echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography
- Coronary angiography
Coronary angiography injects contrast to coronary arteries that supply blood to myocardium and watches the form of coronary arteries and abnormalities by projecting X-ray. To this end, thin plastic tube (diameter: 2-3mm, length: apprx.1m) is inserted into artery or vein so that the tube reaches heart. It is useful to diagnose ischemic heart diseases, especially angina and myocardial infarction. It is also used for PCI (balloon treatment, stent implantation, valvoplasty) by providing accurate and detailed information about the function and form of heart. It also helps to decide diverse treatment guidelines.
