Cardiovascular Surgery at Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Beijing Anzhen Hospital — Co-leader of Chinese cardiovascular care alongside Fuwai; particularly strong in aortic / vascular surgery. Best known for: Cardiac surgery, Aortic dissection / aneurysm surgery, Coronary intervention.

Coronary artery disease, valve disease and rhythm disorders are evaluated with coronary CT angiography and treated with stenting (PCI), surgery or ablation. Fuwai Hospital — China's national cardiovascular center and one of the world's largest heart hospitals — anchors Beijing's cardiac care, with CT angiography from about $350.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular heartbeat that raises stroke risk and saps energy; treatment spans blood thinners, rhythm drugs and catheter ablation. Beijing Anzhen Hospital runs one of the world's largest AF ablation programs, with full arrhythmia workups arranged within days.

Leaking or narrowed heart valves progress quietly until they don't; timing the repair or replacement — surgical or transcatheter (TAVR/mitral clip) — is everything. Fuwai and Anzhen hospitals offer the full spectrum at national-leading volumes, with echocardiography-based workups from about $250.

Aortic aneurysms enlarge silently and are managed by size-based surveillance until repair — open or stent-graft — is safer than waiting. Beijing Anzhen Hospital houses one of the world's most experienced aortic centers; acute dissection (sudden tearing chest pain) is a local emergency.

PCI opens blocked heart arteries with a balloon and stent through a wrist or groin catheter. Fuwai Hospital performs among the highest PCI volumes in the world, and China's device-price reforms make Beijing costs a fraction of typical US bills — quoted individually after records review.
