The heart centres and cardiology departments in Bangkok
Bumrungrad's Heart Institute, on the 14th floor of Building A, groups seven areas of care: coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, structural heart disease, cardiogenetics, congenital heart disease, and prevention. Twenty-one cardiologists are listed, several with subspecialties in intervention, electrophysiology and advanced heart failure.
Published procedures include coronary angiography and angioplasty, bypass surgery, pacemakers, electrophysiology studies, TAVI, mitral valve repair with MitraClip and WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure. The institute reports more than 350 coronary angioplasties, 600 angiographies and 70 open-heart operations a year, and the hospital lists 24-hour emergency cardiac catheterisation.
It may suit patients with complex or structural heart disease who want catheter and surgical options in one centre.
Samitivej Sukhumvit's Heart Center is on the 1st floor of Building 1 and opens 07:00–18:00 every day. The heart service lists a catheterisation laboratory with biplane digital subtraction angiography, an electrophysiology laboratory, an operating theatre, a cardiac ICU and cardiac rehabilitation, with MRI and a 640-slice CT scanner for imaging.
Heart screening programmes combine a 15-item health check with one heart test: an exercise stress test (10,000 baht), an echocardiogram (11,000 baht), a stress echocardiogram (12,000 baht) or a stress echo with CT calcium scoring (16,500 baht). They are on sale to 31 December 2026 for Thai nationals and foreigners living in Thailand, and exclude consultation and hospital service fees.
It may suit Sukhumvit residents who want a structured heart screen with imaging on site.
Worth confirming: The facilities list covers the Heart Center in general; confirm which procedures are done at Sukhumvit, and how heart emergencies are handled after 18:00.
BNH runs heart care through its Cardiovascular Kidney Metabolic Centre on the 4th floor, which brings heart care together with kidney and metabolic medicine. It is open weekdays 07:00–19:00 and weekends 07:00–16:00.
The centre's page describes diagnostic testing and lists cardiologists with interests that include electrophysiology and pacemakers. It does not describe a catheterisation laboratory or angioplasty service.
It may suit people in Silom and Sathorn who want cardiology check-ups and follow-up for a stable heart condition alongside kidney or metabolic care.

How to compare heart centres and cardiology departments in Bangkok
Heart care in Thailand ranges from a check-up with an exercise test to catheter procedures, rhythm treatments and open-heart surgery. Most of it is delivered by the cardiology departments of large hospitals, and a few hospitals run a dedicated heart hospital or centre with its own catheterisation laboratories and surgical team.
What matters most depends on why you are looking. For a planned check-up, the content and price of the package and who reviews the results count most. For a known heart condition, it is the specialists, the procedures the centre performs and the cover it has at night. This guide is general information, not medical advice.
Emergencies come first
The World Health Organization lists the usual warning signs of a heart attack as pain or discomfort in the centre of the chest, pain in the arms, left shoulder, jaw or back, and breathlessness, nausea, light-headedness or a cold sweat. If you or someone with you has these symptoms in Thailand, call 1669, the free national medical emergency number, rather than booking a clinic.
If you have a heart condition, find out in advance which nearby hospital publishes a 24-hour cardiac catheterisation laboratory and save its emergency line. A heart centre with excellent planned services may not be the nearest place that can open a blocked artery at 3am.
What a heart centre does
Published services usually fall into a few groups. Diagnosis covers the electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, exercise stress test, Holter monitoring and CT coronary angiography. Interventional cardiology covers coronary angiography and angioplasty with stents. Electrophysiology treats rhythm problems with ablation, pacemakers and implantable defibrillators. Cardiothoracic surgery covers bypass and valve operations, and some centres list structural procedures such as transcatheter valve replacement.
Check that the specific procedure you need is listed for the branch you will use, not only for the hospital group.
Catheter procedures: coronary angiography, balloon angioplasty and stents
Rhythm care: ablation, pacemakers and defibrillators
Surgery: coronary bypass and valve repair or replacement
Doctors, accreditation and certifications
Ask for the name of the cardiologist or cardiac surgeon who will treat you and check their licence and recorded specialty on the Medical Council of Thailand's public lookup. Hospital accreditation, either Thailand's HA, whose public search shows certificate dates, or Joint Commission International, shows that the hospital's systems are inspected; some hospitals also publish JCI programme certifications for conditions such as acute coronary syndrome. Confirm the dates are current.
Heart check-up packages
Many hospitals publish heart check-up packages with a fixed price. Compare what each includes rather than the headline price: some add a CT calcium score or CT coronary angiography, others stop at an ECG, echocardiogram and exercise test. Ask whether a cardiologist reviews the results with you, whether contrast or sedation costs extra, and what happens if a test finds something that needs follow-up.
Costs, insurance and second opinions
Catheter procedures and surgery are usually quoted as an estimate, because the final bill depends on what is found, the number of stents or devices used and the length of stay. Ask for a written estimate, which items are billed separately and what deposit is required. If you are insured, ask your insurer to confirm a guarantee of payment before a planned procedure; the UK travel advice notes that hospitals require one before treatment.
For a recommendation of major surgery, a second opinion is reasonable. Ask for copies of your angiogram images, echocardiogram and reports so another cardiologist can review them.
After a procedure
Ask how long you will stay, when it is safe to fly, which medicines you will need and for how long, and who will follow you up. Some centres publish cardiac rehabilitation programmes. If you are returning home, ask for a medical report in English and copies of imaging for your own doctor.
Questions to ask before you book
Which cardiologist or surgeon will carry out my procedure, and how can I check their registration?
Is the catheterisation laboratory available 24 hours for heart attacks?
Is the procedure I need performed at this branch, and how often?
Is cardiac surgery available on site if a catheter procedure has complications?
What exactly does the heart check-up package include, and what costs extra?
Will a cardiologist go through the results with me in person?
Can you give me a written estimate, including devices, stents and the hospital stay?
What deposit is needed, and can you bill my insurer directly?
Will I receive copies of my angiogram images and a report in English?
When will I be fit to fly, and who follows me up after I go home?
Warning signs
Pressure to agree to a procedure on the day of a check-up without time to consider it or seek a second opinion.
No named doctor, or a doctor who cannot be found on the Medical Council's lookup.
A 'package' price for a procedure with no written list of what is excluded.
Accreditation or certification claims with no awarding body or expired dates.
Reluctance to release imaging and reports for another cardiologist to review.
Where can I have TAVI or other structural heart procedures in Bangkok?
Bumrungrad's Heart Institute lists TAVI, MitraClip mitral valve repair and WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure. Ask the centre how often it performs the procedure you need and for a written estimate.
What does a heart check-up package in Bangkok include?
It varies. Bangkok Heart Hospital's packages include blood tests, chest X-ray and ECG with either an echocardiogram or an exercise stress test at the basic level, and add a CT calcium score or CT coronary angiogram at higher levels. MedPark lists its packages by number of items.
Are cardiologists available in the evening?
MedPark's Cardiology Center lists hours of 07:00 to 20:00, and Bangkok Hospital's cardiology clinics open from 07:00 every day. For emergencies at any hour, call 1669 or the hospital's emergency line.
