Cardiology Department

Cardiovascular diseases pose serious threats to both the health and life of patients. Many medical conditions do not present clear symptoms and are difficult to detect in daily life, which is why regular health check-ups are essential for early diagnosis.

The Cardiology Department at Hong Ngoc Hospital was established and developed to meet the growing demand for cardiovascular consultations and care, providing comprehensive screening for cardiovascular risk factors, effective treatment, and complication prevention for patients with heart disease.

Radiofrequency ablation for lower limb varicose veins

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for lower limb venous insufficiency is an endovenous thermal intervention, a catheter delivers a high-frequency energy beam, generating thermal energy to destroy collagen in the vein wall. This action leads to inflammation (phlebitis), followed by fibrosis and complete occlusion of the vein.
This technique offers numerous outstanding advantages, including: Non-surgical, scarless, long-lasting effectiveness, safe, low complication rate,...This procedure is performed by our highly experienced team of doctors, who previously worked at the National Heart Institute – Bach Mai Hospital.

Vascular Doppler ultrasound

Vascular Doppler ultrasound is considered the 'Gold Standard' for assessing the condition and guiding treatment selection for lower limb venous insufficiency. This method simulates blood vessel activity, enabling rapid and accurate detection of anatomical and structural abnormalities, as well as evaluating any irregularities in blood flow.
Vascular Doppler ultrasound is a versatile technique applicable to assessing nearly all vascular systems throughout the body. This includes, but is not limited to carotid arteries, upper and lower limb arteries and veins, visceral arteries supplying abdominal organs, abdominal aorta, cerebral blood vessels, fetal umbilical blood vessels…

Cardiovascular screening package

This examination package provides all essential diagnostic categories, enabling early detection and accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular abnormalities. From there, this helps doctors develop the most suitable treatment plan for each patient, leading to high treatment efficacy and preventing complications.

Chronic venous insufficiency screening package

A staggering 77.6% of patients are unaware they have lower limb venous insufficiency, leading to severe complications, most notably: deep vein thrombosis, leg ulcers, and bleeding. Therefore, screening for lower limb venous insufficiency is a crucial first step. It enables early detection of the condition, pushing back the risk of severe progression, reducing costs, and increasing the likelihood of complete treatment.

Coronary CT angiography

Coronary CT angiography is a highly effective diagnostic technique for cardiovascular diseases, offering over 90% accuracy. It helps detect risk factors at an early stage, guides the selection of appropriate treatment methods, and supports the prevention of complications.

Permanent pacemaker implantation

Permanent pacemaker implantation is typically performed for patients experiencing bradycardia. This procedure helps restore a stable heart rhythm, preventing the risk of cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death.

Doppler echocardiogram

Doppler ultrasound is an imaging technique that uses a transducer to emit ultrasound waves. It operates on the principle of reflecting these waves off blood cells moving within blood vessels or heart chambers. This allows for the estimation of blood flow, determination of flow direction, and assessment of heart function and structure.
At Hong Ngoc Hospital's Cardiology department, our Doppler echocardiography system is genuine, imported from Philips, a leading manufacturer in cardiac ultrasound. It boasts numerous superior features, including: High resolution, advanced quantitative capabilities, powerful signal processing technology, purewave single crystal transducer technology for enhanced penetration.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Holter blood pressure monitoring is a technique for continuous, automatic blood pressure measurement over a specified period, typically 24 or 48 hours. This device operates automatically according to pre-set programming and can record blood pressure throughout the monitoring period.
Compared to conventional blood pressure measurement, Holter blood pressure monitoring offers several distinct advantages, including: accuracy, convenience, safety, and single application. Currently, this is the top choice for Cardiology specialists to accurately diagnose a patient's condition.

Holter electrocardiogram

A Holter ECG (electrocardiogram) is a digital device that records the heart's electrical signals continuously for 24 or 48 hours. This device monitors heart rhythm during all daily activities to assess how the heart's electrical activity responds to exercise, rest or medication changes.
This heart monitoring device offers several significant advantages:
- Painless and non-invasive
- No contraindications
- Simple and easy to perform
- High diagnostic value

Exercise electrocardiogram

The stress electrocardiogram used at Hong Ngoc General Hospital is a leading modern technology for early diagnosis of cardiac conditions, assessment of myocardial ischemia, and evaluation of cardiopulmonary reserve.

Drug eluting balloon angioplasty

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is considered a novel approach in the treatment of coronary artery disease, particularly optimal for complex coronary lesions, patients at high risk of bleeding, and in reducing the risk of restenosis associated with stent implantation.

Coronary Stent placement

Coronary stenting is a common procedure in interventional cardiology, frequently performed to treat coronary artery disease and manage cases of acute myocardial infarction. With a highly experienced team of specialists, high-quality stents, and advanced equipment, Hong Ngoc General Hospital is a top choice for patients requiring stent implantation.
