Introduction The heart is the hardest working organ in the body. It works non-stop as long as we live, beating 60-100 times a minute or about 100,000 times a day, pumping oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout the body to sustain life. Presently, Thailand has become a full- edged aged society, thereby heart diseases and their complications keep rising. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide, killing approximately 17.9 million people each year. The Heart Institute, Bumrungrad Hospital, in recognizing the importance of continuously improving the quality of care to meet the needs of patients and in dealing with even more complex heart diseases, is committed to delivering safe and world-class quality treatment to our patients.
