Heart Failure Condition or Weakening Heart Strength (Heart Failure)
Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot function as well as it should, meaning it becomes weak or loses strength, making tasks that are normally easy much more difficult. However, there are various methods that patients and doctors can collaborate on to help the heart function better.
Balloon Angioplasty and Stent Placement for Narrowed Coronary Arteries
Balloon Angioplasty is a popular method of widening the coronary arteries without the need for surgery.
Varicose Veins
A common venous disease in the legs is varicose veins. Treatment is not easy. For minor cases, wearing compression stockings may be used, but for severe cases, treatment involves targeted injections and surgery, depending on the specialist doctor's diagnosis.
Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction (Primary PCI)
Myocardial ischemia is a dangerous emergency condition because half of the patients might die immediately at the scene due to abnormal cardiac conduction, causing the heart to beat erratically without contracting. It is crucial to receive prompt medical treatment.
Atherosclerosis: Detected Early Can Be Prevented and Treated
Arteriosclerosis is a condition caused by changes in the blood vessel walls, causing the inner layers of the vessel walls to progressively thicken. Fat then accumulates between the blood vessels until eventually, it leads to blocked arteries. Detecting it early, before symptoms show, can help in preventing and treating it promptly.
Surgery to correct abnormal heart rhythm caused by Atrial Fibrillation
Surgery for correcting electrical short circuits in the heart. Surgeons at the Bangkok Heart Hospital perform surgery to correct electrical short circuits in the heart using minimal incision techniques or tools similar to surgical robots. This results in a 90% success rate. Patients can recover quickly from the surgery and can return to work within 1 – 2 weeks.
Heart Disease: Serious but Preventable
The heart is an important organ that should be properly cared for, not just to hear its beat for as long as possible, but to ensure that its rhythm is consistent, indicating good health throughout life.
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition with irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate.
TAVI: Repair or Replacement of Heart Valves Without Open Heart Surgery
The heart is an organ that requires careful attention because abnormalities may be hidden and can become symptomatic as one ages, when everything deteriorates. The Bangkok Heart Hospital reveals techniques for repairing or replacing heart valves without the need for open-chest surgery (TAVI/TAVR), designed for elderly patients with high risk factors, allowing them to confidently return to their lives once again.
Aortic Aneurysm
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body. It originates from the left ventricle of the heart and extends down to the abdomen.
Aneurysm detected early increases survival chances
Patients with aneurysms of the major arteries, the best treatment approach is to diagnose and treat before symptoms of the aneurysm occur, as it yields ten times better treatment outcomes than emergency cases.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) / Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
The heart has four chambers. There are two chambers at the top of the heart (atria) and two pumping chambers at the bottom (ventricles).
