The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, the National Key Clinical Specialty, is the largest and most powerful cardiovascular specialty in Northwest China. It has established multiple sub-specialties, including Coronary Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Structural Heart Disease, Hypertension, Pulmonary Vascular Disease, Heart Failure, and Cardiac Emergency and Critical Care, forming a multidisciplinary integrated diagnosis and treatment model.
Advantages & Clinical Features
Complex Coronary Interventional Technology
Advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, coronary atherectomy, and hybrid endovascular and surgical procedures. Far ahead in both quantity and level of diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery diseases.
Cardiovascular Emergency & Critical Care
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), Impella, non-invasive ventilator, ultrafiltration, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Significantly improved success rate for critically ill patients.
Structural Heart Disease Intervention
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) carried out for emergency and critical cases. Successfully performed the first transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip in Northwest China. Pioneering cryoablation for refractory hypertension.
Gene Therapy Breakthrough
Performed the world’s/Asia-Europe’s first original AAV gene therapy for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), achieving breakthrough effect and opening a new path for radical treatment of hereditary cardiovascular diseases.
Clinical Outcomes & Achievements
42,000+ Outpatient Visits
Annual volume reflecting the department’s status as the premier cardiovascular referral center in Northwest China.
First TAVR + MitraClip in Northwest
Established leadership in structural heart interventions across the region.
Gene Therapy Pioneer
World-first AAV gene therapy for HoFH fills a critical gap in hereditary cardiovascular disease treatment.
