Hi all, What is the best Heart Hospital in Bangkok for diagnosing and repairing an enlarged heart and heart chamber leaking complications with rapid pulse??

 

Any opinion or personal experience would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You should post this in the Health Forum for a better response.

There is no "best hospital", all hospitals have both good and not so good doctors. You need to choose the doctor.

 

Do you have specific symptoms or a history of heart trouble? If so, what?

Public or private? Most would argue Medpark is the best private hospital. Blows away Bumrungrad. And many would argue Ramathibodi is the best public hospital, not only in Bangkok, but in all of Thailand.

Again -- there is no "best"  hospital. There are very good doctors to be found in most hospitals and there are sub-0standard doctors to be found in all, unfortunately.

 

And many doctors are available at more than one hospital.

 

As for the major government hospitals,  they tend to have different areas of special expertise.

 

OP needs first to provide more information as I cannot tell if what he needs is just a check uo package for peace of mind or a consult with a cardiologist.

I think he mentioned some details. Ramathibodi has a good cardiac dept. Unless one has good health care or a fortune to spend.

He mentioned what he thinks needs to be diagnosed but not why he thinks that, nor whether he has already ever been diagnosed with these very specific problems.    Makes a difference and he really needs to specify.  If he is just asking because he has heard of others having this problem and want to rule them out then (1) he needs to be tested for more than these 2 very specific heart issues and (2) a heart check up package may suffice initially.  If there is more to it he needs to start with a cardiologist.

 

And he also needs to indicate if he wants government hospital (with the attendant delays, red tape but lowest costs) or private.

 

Among the government hospitals, Rajavithi (first hospital in Thailand to do open heart surgery and major training site for it), Chulongkorn Cardiac Center and Siriraj Cardiac Center have a definite edge over Ramatibodhi for heart issues and cost the same. 

 

Ramathibidhi has comparative advantage for urinary & kidney problems though.
