Heart Center

Concept of Heart Center

The Heart Center provides diagnosis and treatment for all types of cardiac conditions, including complex cases, by a team of experienced specialist cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. The center is fully equipped with a cardiac catheterization laboratory, cardiac surgery suite, and Coronary Care Unit (CCU), all meeting international standards. Patients benefit from attentive, personalized care throughout their treatment and recovery, in a serene setting overlooking the Chao Phraya River.

The center is also affiliated with SiTHIS (Siriraj Transcatheter Heart Intervention and Surgery), a dedicated center for catheter-based and surgical heart procedures. Learn more at www.sithis.center
