Moving Forward Confidently Toward the World's Best Cardiovascular Center
Patient-Centered care.
Providing prompt, safe, and effective Therapy.
Our center is dedicated to comprehensive cardiovascular disease treatment, minimally invasive interventional techniques, and preventive medicine. We treat acute myocardial infarction, complex coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, valvular heart disease, and heart failure. Upholding the core value of “patient-centered care,” we integrate multidisciplinary teamwork, advanced minimally invasive technologies, and international-standard care to provide timely, safe, and personalized treatment solutions.
1. Intensive Cardiac Care and Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
▪ All-day (24/7) emergency care for acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and other high-risk cardiovascular diseases
▪ Expertise in coronary interventions for high-risk lesions, severe calcified lesions, and chronic total occlusions
2. Atrial Fibrillation and Arrhythmia Treatment
▪ 3D mapping-guided catheter ablation and pulsed field ablation
▪ Implantable cardiac rhythm management devices
▪ Leadless pacemaker
▪ Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), left atrial appendage occlusion, and mitral valve repair
▪ Advanced heart failure management, encompassing medication, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and implantable cardioverter technology defibrillators
▪ Heart transplant referral system
▪ Right heart catheterization, specialized pulmonary hypertension care, and integrated multidisciplinary management
▪ Personalized health assessments, medication management, and lifestyle interventions for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome to reduce cardiovascular risk
Integrating AI, imaging diagnostics, minimally invasive interventions, and biological therapies to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment outcomes, and develop novel therapies.
AI and Smart Healthcare Applications
▪︎ Cardiac Cath Imaging Analysis:In collaboration with Mayo Clinic, AI analyzes catheterization images to assess LVEF, diastolic function, cardiac index, and right heart function, improving surgical safety and early detection of cardiac changes.
▪︎ AI Diagnosis for Arrhythmia and AMI:Using CNN models, AI tools analyze arrhythmias and AMI, with regulatory approval from the Taiwan FDA, enhancing clinical applications.
▪︎ AI Coronary Artery Disease Prediction:Developing a 12-lead ECG-based AI system integrated with health check systems for early cardiovascular disease diagnosis.
▪︎ Remote Cardiovascular Monitoring:Wearable devices track blood pressure, heart rate, and rhythm changes in real time, improving precision in cardiovascular risk management.
Innovations in Interventional and Minimally Invasive Treatments
▪︎ TAVI/TMVR with ICE Guidance:Developing ICE-guided transcatheter valve replacements under local anesthesia, reducing general anesthesia needs and enhancing patient comfort.
▪︎ One-Station AF Ablation with LAAO:Preoperative 3D imaging ensures precise device selection, reducing stroke risk and anticoagulant use.
▪︎ Renal Denervation (RDN) for Arrhythmias:Investigating RDN for arrhythmia and hypertension treatment through sympathetic modulation.
▪︎ Autonomic Modulation for Electrical Storms:Studying stellate ganglion block as an alternative therapy for malignant arrhythmias.
▪︎ Septostomy for Pulmonary Hypertension:Exploring atrial septostomy as a last-resort therapy for refractory cases.
▪︎ Alcohol Ablation for Complex Arrhythmias:Implementing alcohol ablation from Houston Methodist for refractory arrhythmias, improving success and reducing complications.
Biological and Genetic Therapies
▪︎ Stem Cells and Exosomes in Arrhythmia and Heart Failure:Exploring the therapeutic potential of exosomes for arrhythmia and heart failure.
▪︎ Novel Genetic Screening:Developing BMPR2, KCNK3, and CAV1 genetic screening for early diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and promoting precision medicine.
▪︎ Fabry Disease Imaging and Genetics:Collaborating with UCSF and Utah to study Taiwan-specific Fabry disease genetic variants and imaging for improved diagnostics.
Advances in Imaging and Diagnostics
▪︎ 3D CT Planning and Surgical Navigation Software:Enhancing preoperative planning and guidance for LAAC and structural heart procedures.
▪︎ Ultrasound Enhancement Agents (UEA):Collaborating on clinical trials to improve cardiac ultrasound imaging quality and diagnostic accuracy.
▪︎ ACHD Exercise Ultrasound Screening:Early screening for pulmonary hypertension through bicycle exercise echocardiography, advancing early diagnosis strategies.
