Asian Cardiovascular Institute

The Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratory at the Asian Cardiovascular Institute (ACVI) of Asian Hospital and Medical Center plays a central role in both the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular conditions. It supports a wide range of catheter-based procedures used to assess and manage issues such as narrowed or blocked arteries, congenital heart defects, and valve disorders.

Combining interventional cardiology expertise with advanced imaging and precision technology, the laboratory enables minimally invasive procedures that help restore blood flow and relieve symptoms. These procedures are typically categorized as either diagnostic—providing detailed insights into a patient’s condition—or interventional, where treatment is performed directly. 

With a strong focus on safety and patient care, each procedure is carefully planned and executed by experienced specialists. The minimally invasive nature of these treatments often leads to shorter recovery times, allowing patients to return to their daily routines sooner. 

The Structural Heart Disease and Endovascular Therapy Center of Excellence focuses on treating complex valve and aortic conditions using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Care is guided by a collaborative “heart team” approach, where specialists evaluate each case in detail to recommend the most appropriate treatment—balancing innovation, safety, and long-term outcomes.

At the Asian Hospital and Medical Center, a dedicated team of cardiovascular surgeons works alongside specialists in cardiovascular diseases and related fields to provide exceptional care for both adult and young cardiac patients. This collaborative effort ensures that the ACVI’s Cardiovascular Surgery Center of Excellence delivers expert surgical solutions for even the most complex heart and vascular conditions.

The Asian Cardiovascular Institute Heart Station, also known as the Non-invasive Cardiac Laboratory, serves as a Center of Excellence for comprehensive heart diagnostics. By utilizing state-of-the-art imaging and various interrelated procedures, specialists can identify cardiovascular conditions at their earliest, most treatable stages. These sophisticated, non-invasive methods deliver the precise results necessary to guide confident medical decisions and create personalized care plans, ultimately forming the foundation for strategies that reduce patient mortality and morbidity. 

The General Adult Cardiology Center of Excellence provides holistic care for common and complex heart conditions affecting adults. This center of excellence focuses on disease-specific approaches to managing chronic medical conditions, promoting care coordination, ana helping patients live healthier lives through specialized programs. 

ACVI’s Pediatric Cardiology Center of Excellence is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This center of excellence comprises an experienced, multidisciplinary team of physicians and health care specialists dedicated to pediatric cardiac care at Asian Hospital. Our team of pediatric cardiologists collaborates closely to provide comprehensive pre-operative evaluations for pediatric heart patients and adults with congenital heart disease 

This center focuses on preventing heart disease and supporting recovery after cardiac events or procedures. Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve one's cardiovascular health it a cardiac event such as a heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, o surgery is experienced. It involves initial patient evaluation and assessment by the cardiac rehab consultant, exercise counseling and training, as well as education on heart-healthy living pertaining to diet, stress management, and smoking cessation among others. Asian Hospital's Cardiac Rehab unit is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment including a telemetry monitor system for its patients. 

ACVI’s Center of Excellence for Cardiac Physiology, Arrhythmia, and Syncope specializes in the evaluation and management of heart rhythm disorders and unexplained fainting episodes. Using advanced electrophysiologic studies and monitoring technologies, our specialists diagnose complex rhythm conditions and design personalized treatment strategies to restore normal heart rhythm and improve patient safety and quality of life.  

The Institute's mission is to train outstanding physicians in clinical care, teaching, and research to become board-eligible in adult cardiovascular medicine. The fellowship program will provide a curriculum tailored to the needs and goals in accordance with PHA-established guidelines. The fellows are expected to become leaders in the expanding global academic cardiovascular medicine community, and they approach this mission with enthusiasm. inviting fellows to join.  

ACVI’s Cardiovascular Research Center of Excellence advances heart care through clinical research, innovation, and evidence-based practice. By participating in research initiatives and clinical studies, ACVI contributes to the continuous improvement of cardiovascular treatments and outcomes—ensuring that patients benefit from care guided by the latest scientific advancements.
