Comprehensive cardiac care: bypass surgery, valve replacement, TAVR, electrophysiology, and pediatric cardiology.
China's leading cardiac centers — including Beijing Fuwai Hospital and Shanghai Zhongshan — perform over 50,000 cardiac surgeries annually with mortality rates comparable to US Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic.
Treatments available
- CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting) — Both on-pump and off-pump techniques

- Mitral valve repair & replacement — Including MitraClip
- Electrophysiology — Catheter ablation for arrhythmias, AFib

What sets China apart for cardiac care
Volume and experience: top Chinese cardiac surgeons individually perform 500–1000+ open-heart surgeries per year, compared to 100–200 typical in Western centers. This translates to refined technique and excellent outcomes.
