Heart and Vascular Institute

Perpetual Help Medical Center – Las Piñas has always combined advanced technology with a patient-centered approach to holistic health care. The Heart and Vascular Institute (HVI) is a complete facility for state-of-the-art cardiovascular services ranging from prevention and risk-factor management, to diagnosis, intervention and surgery, recovery, rehabilitation and patient education.

The HVI provides the entire spectrum of care for patients suffering from congestive heart failure, angina, heart attacks, hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve prolapse, congenital heart disease, aortic aneurysms, blocked arteries, vein insufficiency, and other vascular diseases.

The Heart and Vascular Institute is equipped with two state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories—the ARTIS Q and the ARTIS Icono, the first in the country. The Artis Q expands precision medicine and supports complex procedures. It speeds up procedures and provides real time verification of the stent positioning while moving the device.

The ARTIS Icono, on the other hand, allows our medical practitioners to perform cardiac angiogram, angioplasty, coiling of the brain and radiologic intervention procedures among others. The new machine can deliver fast, clear and consistent 3D imaging of vital organs of stroke patients. Bleeding can be visualized in a short span of time which is vital in the treatment of stroke cases. This can lead to better patient outcomes in cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformation cases.

Interventional cardiology is a specialty that focuses on minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel conditions. Working with these small tubes allows providers to avoid doing open-heart surgery. This specialty utilizes thin flexible tubes called catheters to access and repair damaged or weakened vessels, narrowed arteries, or other structural heart issues without open-heart surgery.

  • Coronary Valvuloplasty

Cardiovascular surgery, also known as heart or cardiac surgery, involves surgical procedures on the heart and major blood vessels. It is a field that focuses on treating a range of conditions, from congenital heart defects to acquired heart diseases. Common procedures include coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair or replacement and addressing aneurysms.

Cardiovascular anesthesiology is a specialized field focused on providing anesthesia and related medical care during heart, lung and vascular surgeries. They work closely with surgeons and cardiologists to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

  • Heart Valve Repair / Replacement Surgery
  • Carotid Endarterectomy
  • Aortic Aneurysm Repair
  • AV Fistula Creation
  • Post Anesthesia Care Unit

The Cardiovascular Diagnostic Center provides a range of diagnostic and screening tests to assess heart health. These tests evaluate the heart’s electrical activity, rhythm, and pumping efficiency; check how well blood flows through the chambers, valves, and coronary arteries; and detect tumors or structural abnormalities in the cardiovascular system.

Brain Aneurysm Coiling is a procedure used to treat a weak spot in a blood vessel in the brain, called an aneurysm. Using a thin tube (catheter), the doctor gently places a small, soft metal coil inside the aneurysm. This coil helps block blood flow into the weak area, which can stop bleeding if the aneurysm has already ruptured or prevent it from bleeding in the future. The coil is made of soft platinum and is attached to a fine delivery wire for precise placement.

 

Adult Cardiology is the branch of medicine that cares for the heart and blood vessels of adults. It deals with conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attacks, valve problems, and irregular heartbeats. Adult cardiologists not only treat these problems but also help prevent them by giving advice on healthy habits and, when needed, prescribing medicines to keep the heart strong.

Liver Cancer Embolization is a minimally invasive treatment that works by blocking the blood flow to liver tumors. Without this blood supply, the tumor loses the oxygen and nutrients it needs to grow. This procedure is often recommended when surgery or other treatments aren’t possible, or as a temporary measure to control the cancer while waiting for a liver transplant.

Pediatric cardiology is a specialized branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children, from newborns to adolescents. It covers a wide range of concerns, including congenital heart defects (present at birth), arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), and acquired heart diseases such as Kawasaki disease and rheumatic fever. Pediatric cardiologists collaborate closely with primary care doctors and other specialists to provide comprehensive, coordinated care for young patients with heart conditions.

Perpetual Help Medical Center – Las Piñas has specialized cardiovascular care units staffed by highly trained nurses. These units are designed to manage all types of heart-related emergencies, providing round-the-clock monitoring and advanced treatments to ensure patients receive the best possible care.

The Cardiac Rehabilitation and Wellness Center provides a medically supervised program for adults whose heart conditions affect their daily lives. Through a combination of exercise, education, and emotional support, the program aims to ease symptoms, improve physical function, and enhance overall quality of life. During exercise sessions, the patient’s heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure are carefully monitored to ensure safety and progress.
