How to choose

How to choose a cardiology & cardiac surgery hospital in Shanghai

  • Adults with coronary or valve disease: comprehensive hospitals with large cardiac surgery and cardiology departments.
  • Children with congenital defects: a dedicated pediatric hospital with pediatric cardiac surgery and pediatric intensive care.
  • Structural heart procedures (e.g. TAVR): ask Horcare which heart teams offer the procedure for your anatomy.
  • Bring complete imaging — echocardiography and angiography or CT — to speed up the review.

Grade 3A is the highest level in China's three-tier hospital classification. A grade describes the hospital as a whole, so Horcare matches the department and subspecialty to the diagnosis first. What a Grade 3A hospital is.
