Department of Cardiology
The Department of Cardiology of Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University has gradually developed into sub-center of National Regional Cardiovascular Center and National Clinical Research Center of Cardiovascular diseases. It’s got the only national key clinical specialty in Fujian province. It’s the training base for interventional diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and congenital heart disease. It’s also Chinese Chest Pain Center, Chest Pain Regional certification center, Heart Failure Center, Atrial Fibrillation Center, Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, and Hypertension Center.
The department has 77 doctors and 188nurses, including 11 with senior professional titles, 24 with associated senior professional titles, as well as 1 Ph.D. tutor and 6 master tutors. It consists of 8 medical and nursing units (4 coronary heart disease units, 1 arrhythmia unit, 1 structural heart disease and heart failure unit, 1 CCU and 1 VIP unit), and 1 interventional catheterization lab (8 interventional operating rooms in total). It has 6 sub-specialty groups, including coronary heart disease, electrophysiology and pacing, structural heart disease, hypertension and heart failure, cardiac rehabilitation, and cardiac critical care.
As the important component of Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University, a teaching hospital, the department undertakes a lot of teaching work for undergraduates, postgraduates, residents and refresher doctors, including lectures, teaching rounds, discussion on difficult cases, and operation training. In terms of scientific research in past ten years, the department has obtained a total of 127 projects under National Natural Science Foundation, Key Research and Development Foundation of Ministry of Sci-tech, Provincial/Municipal Foundation, with total funding of about 35 million Yuan. More than 400 papers has been published by the department as the first author or corresponding author. The department has won 17 Provincial and Municipal Sci-tech Progress Awards, and has compiled more than 10 monographs.

Features of the Discipline
The Department has actively developed interventional technology and scientific research of cardiovascular disease through academic activities and exchanges. It has made domestic leading and internationally influential achievements in the development of some sub-specialties.
The number of cases and therapeutic effect of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER) of mitral valve and tricuspid valve, atrial septal shunt, left ventricular volume reduction with ParachuteTC system and ReviventTC system for left ventricular aneurysm, are among the best in China.
As diagnosis and treatment center of complicated and critical cardiovascular diseases in Southwest Fujian, kinds of advanced life support technologies including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been conventionally used to rescue critically ill patients.
