The Department of Cardiology, located on the 14th floor of Hai Phong International General Hospital, is a specialized center dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and interventional management of cardiovascular diseases.

The department is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of 8 physicians and 15 nurses, including:

– 4 physicians holding Master’s degrees or having completed Residency Training
– 3 Specialist Level I physicians
– 1 physician with advanced training in Cardiology

The department has a capacity of 45 inpatient beds and operates three Cardiology consultation rooms within the Outpatient Department.

To support comprehensive cardiovascular care, the department is equipped with advanced medical technologies, including:

– Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) system
– Holter ECG monitoring system
– 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (Holter BP) monitoring system
– Advanced echocardiography system
– Advanced vascular ultrasound system
– Continuous patient monitoring system

These modern facilities enable the department to provide comprehensive cardiovascular services, from routine consultations and diagnostic evaluations to advanced interventional procedures and the management of critically ill and complex cardiac conditions.

Cardiovascular diseases are increasingly prevalent across all age groups and remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The Department of Cardiology at Hai Phong International General Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of a broad spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, including:
