Hong Ngoc General Hospital provides specialized cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment, supported by an experienced team of specialists, advanced medical technology, and international-standard services. In addition to being a trusted healthcare destination for Vietnamese patients, the hospital has also developed a dedicated cardiovascular care model for international patients, meeting the medical needs of the international community living and working in Vietnam.
The global burden of cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 20 million deaths each year. In Vietnam, cardiovascular diseases account for approximately one-third of all deaths, posing a significant health burden for many families.
Notably, many serious cardiovascular conditions, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure, often progress silently over a long period. By the time obvious symptoms appear, the disease may have already caused significant damage to the heart and other organs.
For this reason, choosing a healthcare provider capable of offering comprehensive support, from screening and early detection to specialized treatment and long-term follow-up, plays a particularly important role.
As the number of international residents and expatriates living and working in Vietnam continues to grow, the demand for cardiovascular care among international patients is also increasing. This requires healthcare providers not only to demonstrate strong clinical expertise but also to meet international standards in patient services and care.

Advanced medical equipment and technologies from developed countries
A dedicated echocardiography room equipped with the Philips EPIQ Elite, a next-generation ultrasound system for cardiac Doppler ultrasound and vascular Doppler ultrasound.

The advanced 2,560-slice Revolution Apex Elite 3.0 CT technology represents a breakthrough in the accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases within a single heartbeat. It is particularly optimized for patients with atrial fibrillation or cardiac arrhythmias, without the need for heart rate-lowering medication.

Multidisciplinary consultation and personalized treatment

At Hong Ngoc General Hospital, each patient is managed through a multidisciplinary consultation model involving specialists in cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology and urology, respiratory medicine, neurology, emergency and critical care, and other relevant fields.
This enables doctors to comprehensively assess the patient’s overall health status, develop a personalized treatment plan, and optimize the management of coexisting underlying conditions.
For complex cases or those requiring highly specialized input, Hong Ngoc is also ready to arrange multidisciplinary consultations with experts from reputable international medical centers, such as Samsung Medical Center in South Korea and Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, China.
