Overview

Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital is a leading cardiovascular center in China, dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular diseases. The hospital serves as an accredited training center of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), with clinical programs aligned with the standards of the American Heart Association (AHA), ensuring care consistent with internationally recognized practices.

The department brings together a large team of experienced cardiovascular specialists and provides care across the full spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, from common diseases to complex and high-risk cases. As a high-volume center, it performs over 20,000 interventional procedures annually, reflecting extensive clinical experience and a mature, well-established practice.

Experience & Outcomes

As a high-volume cardiovascular center, the department performs over 20,000 interventional procedures each year, including a substantial number of complex and high-risk cases.

The center serves as a referral destination for challenging cardiovascular conditions across the region and maintains consistent procedural quality supported by extensive clinical experience.

Technology & Advanced Treatment

The department offers a range of advanced diagnostic and interventional technologies, including:

· Minimally invasive catheter-based therapies

· Advanced imaging-guided interventions

· Structural heart procedures such as TAVR

· Complex electrophysiology procedures

These technologies are applied routinely in clinical practice, supporting safe and effective treatment for a broad range of cardiovascular conditions.

Conditions & Treatments

Other Key Specialties The department provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including:

Heart Valve & Structural Heart Program

The department includes a dedicated program for the treatment of heart valve and structural heart disease, representing a major area of clinical strength.

The program has extensive experience in both transcatheter and minimally invasive interventions, including:

· Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

· Mitral and tricuspid valve interventions

· Congenital defect closure (ASD, VSD)

· Minimally invasive valve therapies

The program serves a growing number of international patients seeking advanced and cost-effective valve treatment.
