State-of-the-Art
Facilities in Cardiology
Well equipped with the most sophisticated state-of-the-art
medical equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of
heart diseases, and with a cardio-pulmonary laboratory,
a cardiac catheterization laboratory, and an operation
theater capable of performing open-heart surgery all
under one roof, patients are saved from the hectic of
being moved around.

| Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory |
 |
|
Cardiac Catheterization is a procedure where
the cardiologist inserts a thin plastic tube (catheter)
into your blood vessels and is advanced into the
chambers of the heart and the coronary arteries
so as to collect information on the pressure and
oxygen concentrations in different parts of the
heart.
The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory is tailored
for diagnostic workup and therapeutic intervention
of various kinds of heart diseases. Apart from
coronary angiography, angioplasty and stenting,
cardiologists can also repair simple heart defects,
or open up a narrowed heart valve during cardiac
catheterization. Facilities for treatment of cardiac
arrhythmias by modern methods such as catheter
ablation are also available.
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure.
Major complications of cardiac catheterization
are rare, but do occur. The Cardiac Catheterization
Laboratory is supported by a full team of expert
cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. With
an adjacent Operation Theater, open heart surgery
can be performed immediately in the rare event
of life-threatening complications.

| Operation Theater: Open Heart
Surgery |
|
Hong Kong Adventist Hospital is the first private
hospital in Hong Kong where open heart surgery is
performed. It is also the only private hospital
equipped with a special team to handle pediatric
open heart surgery. Both the nursing and technical
staff in the Operation Theater are highly experienced,
specialized and dedicated. Patients with cardiac
problems would feel most secured being looked after
in a hospital equipped with such specialized facilities.
