Our cardiology department is led by a team of cardiologists and supported by specialist practitioners and emergency medicine specialists, who work together to provide timely and accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment services to our patients.

The fast-paced nature of modern urban life, accompanied by busy lifestyles, imbalanced diets, irregular routines, high stress, or lack of exercise, all place a burden on cardiovascular health. With the trend of cardiovascular disease becoming more prevalent and affecting younger populations, and given that most people suffer from acquired heart conditions, regular cardiac examinations are essential. These examinations help us understand our cardiovascular health status, effectively preventing and reducing the risk of developing heart diseases. Through specialized cardiac examinations, diagnoses, and recommendations from doctors, underlying heart conditions or heart attacks can be detected early, securing cardiovascular health.
