Cardiology and cardiac surgery cover coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, arrhythmias, heart failure and congenital heart defects. Patients typically contact Horcare because surgery has been recommended at home and the waiting time or cost is a barrier.
China's most specialized cardiovascular care is concentrated in dedicated heart hospitals such as Fuwai Hospital and Beijing Anzhen Hospital, and in the cardiac centers of large Grade 3A hospitals in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Wuhan.
Fitness for travel is an important part of any cardiac case. The hospital and the patient's own doctor should both be involved in deciding whether and when it is safe to fly.
