Raffles Heart Centre provides one-stop specialist care for the screening, diagnosis and treatment of various heart conditions such as Arrhythmia, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol Level).

Raffles Heart Centre offers a wide range of diagnostic tests and treatments for heart-related diseases.

  • 2D Echocardiogram. A form of ultrasound test used to examine the heart structure and heart valve.

  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring. Monitoring of blood pressure readings over 24 hours while a person is performing daily routine activities.

  • Coronary Angiogram. To detect blockages in the arteries to the heart.
  • Coronary CT angiogram
  • Calcium scoring
  • Rotoblator
  • Intravascular ultrasound
  • Pressure wire measurements
  • Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography. This test will provide information regarding your level of exercise tolerance, and the ability of your heart to respond appropriately to an increased workload. It is a more accurate test for the detection of coronary disease than exercise treadmill.

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Holter Monitoring. Records the electrical activity of the heart for a 24 hour period of time. This allows detection of any irregularities and/or abnormalities in the heart's rhythm during normal activities.

  • Pacemaker Check
  • Treadmill Exercise Stress Test
  • Tilt-table Test. Useful diagnostic procedure for patients who have symptoms of severe lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting spells.

  • Transesophageal Echocardiogram. A special ultrasound test which is used mainly to look for holes and clots in the heart.

We have a team of highly skilled specialists, nurses and radiographers working together to ensure success in each of these procedures:

Angioplasty & Stent Implantation

A thin catheter is passed through a blocked artery with a balloon to open it. It may involve the insertion of a stent.

Cardiac Surgery

This includes Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and other common congenital and valvular heart surgery.

Cardiac devices implantation

A small device is implanted to provide the electrical stimulus when the heart's own natural pacemaker does not function.

Minimally invasive cardiac electrophysiology
