Cardiovascular Medicine

The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and the vascular–circulatory system. Our hospital boasts an experienced team of cardiovascular specialists capable of managing a wide range of common and complex cardiovascular conditions, as well as providing emergency care for critical and life‑threatening cases. The department specializes in the diagnosis and management of hypertension, coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, various arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, rheumatic heart disease, aortic disorders, and other circulatory system diseases. It routinely performs interventional procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and implantation of cardiac pacemakers, while also undertaking emergency resuscitation for critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock, malignant arrhythmias, hypertensive crises, and other severe conditions. Leveraging state-of-the-art imaging equipment—including GE MRI, DSA digital subtraction angiography, and echocardiography—and supported by electrocardiography and ambulatory ECG monitoring, the department conducts comprehensive assessments of cardiac anatomy, vascular status, and rhythm, enabling precise evaluation of disease severity.

Hypertension is a key chronic condition managed by our department. We tailor antihypertensive regimens to patients of different ages and with various comorbidities, conduct regular blood pressure monitoring, and strive to prevent target-organ damage to the heart, brain, and kidneys caused by blood pressure fluctuations. For patients with coronary artery disease, we distinguish between stable angina and high-risk coronary lesions, selecting appropriate pharmacologic or interventional therapies. In managing chronic heart failure, we optimize medication regimens, provide guidance on weight and fluid intake monitoring, and help reduce the risk of recurrent hospitalizations. Our department places great emphasis on elderly cardiovascular patients; given that older adults often have multiple comorbidities, such as diabetes and kidney disease, we carefully weigh drug–drug interactions throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process to ensure treatment safety. We also offer cardiovascular risk screening, implement intelligent monitoring for high‑risk populations, and promote primary prevention. We educate patients on healthy lifestyle practices—such as a low‑salt diet, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, and alcohol moderation—to lower the risk of cardiovascular events. If you experience symptoms like chest tightness or pain, palpitations, dizziness or transient visual obscuration, shortness of breath on exertion, or lower‑extremity edema, seek prompt evaluation at the cardiology department.
