Coronary Balloon Angioplasty and Stent Placement: An Effective Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is a common yet potentially life-threatening condition. When the arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked, it can lead to chest pain (angina) and may result in a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Heart Health Check-Up: Prevention is Better than Cure

The heart is the most vital organ in the body, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body 24 hours a day. Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Thailand and worldwide. Regular heart check-ups are essential for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases before they become life-threatening.

What Causes Limestone in the Arteries?

For further information or Booking.. Understanding Limestone in the Arteries Limestone refers to the accumulation of calcium in our bodies, forming hardened deposits. This can occur due to various reasons, including natural wear and tear of calcium or inflammation at specific sites. The body’s mechanism creates calcium to protect injured areas from further damage. […]

Heart Screening for Seniors: A Life-Saving Step Against Sudden Cardiac Arrest

For further information or Booking.. As we age, it’s common to experience fatigue and shortness of breath more easily—raising concerns about coronary artery disease and the potential for sudden cardiac arrest. Dr. Montree Charoenpanichsanti, a cardiologist at Phyathai Sriracha Hospital, emphasizes that heart screening is the most accurate method for assessing heart health. It […]

Heart Health Check for Seniors : What You Need to Know

For further information or Booking.. As long as the heart can continue pumping blood, symptoms may not appear, leaving most individuals unaware of the danger. The second factor is arrhythmia, a condition where the heart beats irregularly. A normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. If it falls below […]

Left-Sided Numbness: A Warning Sign of Coronary Artery Disease

For further information or Booking.. Left-Sided Numbness Comes and Goes, and It’s More Dangerous Than You Think The symptom of “numbness” in the hands, arms, and legs is often ignored by many people because when we change our position or move, the numbness tends to subside. However, in reality, numbness can occur due to […]

Chest Pain Types : How to Tell if it’s Heart Disease?

For further information or Booking.. What Type of Chest Pain? Is it Likely to be Heart Disease? It could be a sign of heart disease without us realizing it. If you are someone who is concerned that you or someone close to you may be at risk of heart disease, don’t just sit and […]

冠動脈造影検査 (Coronary Artery Angiography-CAG)

冠動脈造影検査は　太腿の付け根、肘の裏側、手首の裏側　の血管から管（カテーテル）を入れて心臓に達したとこで造影剤を注入します。それからはＸ線画像や静止画を見ながら心臓血管に狭まりや詰まりが無いか確認します。

Limestone in the coronary arteries increases the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

Many people already know that coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of sudden death among Thais, and the trend continues to rise. When it comes to coronary artery blockage, the first cause that comes to mind is probably the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries. However, in reality, arterial blockage is not solely caused by fatty plaque but also by the accumulation of calcium, also known as "limestone."

Heart Health Check: The Older You Get, the More Attention You Need

What type of chest pain is it? Is it likely to be related to heart disease?

It could be a sign of heart disease without us realizing it. If you are someone who is concerned that you or someone close to you may be at risk of heart disease, don't just sit and worry. Let's check to make sure what type of symptoms are indicative of "heart disease."

CT Coronary Calcium Score

Calcium Score, or CT Coronary Calcium Score, is a diagnostic procedure used to detect "calcifications in the coronary arteries" using a computed tomography (CT) scan. Its purpose is to assess the "degree of deterioration" in the coronary arteries and evaluate the "risk" of developing coronary artery disease in the future, even in the absence of symptoms.

Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography, also known as heart catheterization, involves threading a catheter through a small incision in the groin, wrist, or arm up to the coronary arteries and injecting a contrast dye. Subsequently, an X-ray is performed, capturing images of the coronary arteries to assess any blockages or constrictions.

Coronary Artery Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography is a procedure that involves threading a catheter through the groin, elbow, or wrist arteries to the heart's blood vessels. A contrast dye is injected, and then X-rays are taken to visualize the condition of the blood vessels and identify any blockages.

Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes can be prevented.

For further information or Booking.. Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes can be prevented. Diabetic patients have a higher and more severe risk of coronary artery disease compared to the general population. It also occurs at a younger age because diabetic patients often have abnormalities in their blood vessels earlier than non-diabetic […]

Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly)

Enlarged hearts can be classified into two major types: one caused by thickening of the heart muscle due to increased workload or strain—often associated with high blood pressure or valve abnormalities—and the other caused by poor relaxation of the heart muscle, resulting in blood pooling in the heart chambers.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

Acute coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, depriving the heart muscle of adequate blood flow and resulting in myocardial ischemia. Patients often experience severe chest tightness, commonly described as a sensation of pressure or squeezing in the chest.

Heart Failure Caused by Leaky Heart Valves

For further information or Booking.. Heart Valves and Their Functions Heart valves function like gates, preventing blood from flowing backward into the heart chambers during contraction. Acting as doors that open and close between the heart’s chambers, these valves work continuously from birth throughout a person’s life. The heart contains four valves located in […]

Echocardiography: How an Echo Test Can Help Detect Heart Problems Early

Echocardiography is utilized to assess abnormalities in the movement of the heart walls, measure the amount of blood ejected during heart contractions, and visualize various heart diseases, including congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, myocardial diseases, and coronary artery disease.

Electrocardiogram : (EKG or ECG)

An EKG is a quick and effective test that helps detect heart abnormalities and guides further evaluation.
