Cardiovascular Clinic
Chularat Cholvaej Hospital
Caring for your heart with specialist physicians, advanced medical technology, and attentive care at every stage of life.
The Cardiovascular Clinic at Chularat Cholvaej Hospital is a dedicated centre for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, designed to meet the healthcare needs of modern patients. The clinic provides specialist care by experienced cardiologists, supported by advanced medical equipment to accurately identify cardiovascular risk factors and abnormalities at an early stage.
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death among the Thai population. Many patients may have no obvious symptoms until they develop acute myocardial ischaemia, heart failure, or cardiac arrhythmias. Early screening and cardiovascular risk assessment are therefore key to timely prevention and treatment.
Cardiovascular Clinic
Chularat Cholvaej Hospital
The Cardiovascular Clinic at Chularat Cholvaej at Chularat Cholvaej Hospital offers a comprehensive range of cardiac investigations, from basic assessments to advanced diagnostic technologies, including:
1) EKG (Electrocardiogram)
An electrocardiogram (EKG) records the electrical activity of the heart and is used to assess heart rhythm, cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial ischaemia, and abnormal thickening of the heart muscle. It is a rapid, non-invasive and painless examination that provides important initial diagnostic information.
2) Echo (Echocardiography)
Echocardiography is an ultrasound examination of the heart used to assess cardiac structure and function, including the size of the cardiac chambers, myocardial contractility, and heart valves. It can aid in the accurate diagnosis of heart failure, valvular regurgitation or stenosis, and other cardiac conditions.
3) CT Calcium Score
A CT calcium score uses computed tomography (CT) to quantify the amount of calcium deposited in the walls of the coronary arteries. The coronary artery calcium score is an important indicator of the future risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is particularly suitable for individuals who are asymptomatic but have risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, or smoking.
4) CTA Coronary (Coronary CT Angiography)
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is a high-resolution CT examination of the coronary arteries that can detect coronary artery stenosis or occlusion without the need for invasive cardiac catheterisation. It is an accurate and safe diagnostic method for evaluating coronary artery disease.
Who Should Consider Cardiac Screening?
1. Individuals experiencing symptoms such as chest pain or tightness, easy fatigability, palpitations, or dizziness.
2. Individuals with underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidaemia.
3. Individuals with a family history of heart disease.
4. Individuals over 40 years of age who wish to undergo preventive cardiovascular health screening.
