Cardiology

The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine is a specialized cardiovascular department primarily responsible for treating cardiovascular diseases and integrating medical care, teaching, and scientific research. After more than ten years of professional improvement and development, with good medical technology and high-quality services, it has established an excellent reputation in the community, earned widespread popularity among patients, and received praise from its peers. In 2018, it became a designated unit for the hospital’s key discipline development program. The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine currently has 24 medical and nursing staff members, including 2 chief physicians, 5 associate chief physicians, and 4 attending physicians; 80% hold a master’s degree or higher. There are currently 33 beds. Diseases treated include common and frequently occurring cardiovascular diseases and acute, critical illnesses such as hypertension, coronary heart disease (unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction), hyperlipidemia, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, and peripheral vascular disease, as well as acute and critical conditions (such as acute myocardial infarction, malignant arrhythmia, and acute left heart failure). Treatment outcomes are significant. The annual volume of interventional procedures exceeds 500, including permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation, emergency coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction, treatment of chronic total occlusive lesions in coronary heart disease, radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias, and interventional treatment of congenital heart disease. The hospital and department are equipped with imported cardiac color Doppler ultrasound, transesophageal echocardiography, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography, long-term ambulatory ECG monitoring, arteriosclerosis testing, a GE exercise treadmill, GE’s latest 64-slice, 128-layer high-speed spiral CT, ward telemetry ECG monitoring equipment, Siemens’ latest Artis Q floor high-end angiography system (DSA), multi-channel electrophysiological stimulation and recording systems, and other equipment, laying a solid foundation for the development of the department.
