Bangkok Heart Hospital is Thailand's first dedicated private heart hospital, operating 95 cardiovascular beds on the Bangkok Hospital campus in central Bangkok. Established in 2005 under the BDMS network, it handles around 400 outpatient visits daily with a team of 70+ cardiovascular physicians. JCI-accredited since 2007 with Clinical Care Program Certification for acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, the hospital serves patients from across Asia and the Middle East.
Bangkok Heart Hospital (BHT) opened in 2005 as a standalone facility within the Bangkok Hospital Headquarters campus in Huay Khwang, Bangkok. It traces its origins to the Bangkok Heart Center, founded in 1989 within Bangkok Hospital. When patient volume and the scope of cardiac services outgrew the original center, BDMS established it as a separate hospital in the Kitipan Building.
The hospital operates 95 cardiovascular beds across six floors, with a dedicated outpatient department, echocardiographic lab, arrhythmia and prevention clinic, heart failure clinic, cardiac care units (CCU for surgery and medicine), intermediate CCU, and inpatient cardiac wards. Around 20-25% of its patients are international, coming from across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
BHT provides the full range of cardiac services: diagnostic imaging, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, cardiac rehabilitation, and preventive cardiology. The hospital offers 24-hour emergency cardiac intervention with a door-to-balloon time under 30 minutes for acute heart attacks.
A key capability is TAVI/TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation/Replacement) performed in the hospital's hybrid operating room. This OR combines surgical technology with the Flex Move Heart Navigator imaging system, allowing 360-degree table rotation and high-resolution real-time imaging during procedures. The hospital also runs an active ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) program and hosts an ELSO-endorsed ECMO training course that has been running since 2016.
Bangkok Heart Hospital holds JCI accreditation (shared with the Bangkok Hospital HQ campus since 2007). In 2008, it received JCI Clinical Care Program Certification (CCPC) for both acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, with recertification in 2011 and 2014. The hospital employs over 70 cardiovascular physicians and more than 200 nurses and support staff.
BHT shares resources with the adjacent Bangkok Hospital, Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital, and Bangkok International Hospital on the same campus. This means patients who need care beyond cardiology have immediate access to a full-service tertiary hospital without transferring to a different location.

Heart treatment costs depend on the specific procedure, complexity, and length of hospital stay.
