The Cebu Heart Institute at Perpetual Succour Hospital provides specialized heart care in Cebu City. Our team includes cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, nurses, and allied health professionals. Together, they support patients through heart examinations, treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation.

Established on February 14, 1994, the institute made history in cardiovascular care. It was the first center outside Metro Manila to perform open-heart surgery.

Today, the institute continues to provide cardiac services with a focus on compassionate care and patient education.

Comprehensive Heart Care

The Cebu Heart Institute offers services for patients with heart and blood vessel conditions. In addition, our medical team works together to assess each patient’s needs. Based on these findings, physicians recommend suitable care and treatment options.

Invasive Cardiac Services

Our cardiac team performs procedures to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions. For example, coronary angiography helps doctors examine the heart’s blood vessels. When needed, physicians may recommend angioplasty or other procedures.

Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory

Our Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory offers procedures such as:

• Coronary angiography

• Angioplasty and stenting

• Balloon valvuloplasty

• Balloon septostomy

• Vena cava filter implantation

• Selected vascular and interventional radiology procedures

Cardiac Surgery

The institute also has cardiac surgery capabilities, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair, and valve replacement.

Other listed procedures include congenital heart defect repair, arterial bypass grafting, and selected vascular surgeries.

Non-Invasive Cardiac Services

Patients can also undergo heart examinations without surgery. These tests include ECG, echocardiography, and heart monitoring. Depending on the results, doctors may recommend further examinations or treatment.

Cardiovascular Laboratory

Available diagnostic services listed by the institute include:

• Electrocardiography (ECG)

• 24-hour Holter monitoring

• Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

• Peripheral vascular studies

• Treadmill stress testing

• Two-dimensional echocardiography with Doppler

• Transesophageal echocardiography

• Stress echocardiography

These tests help physicians assess heart rhythm, circulation, and cardiac function. Your doctor will determine which examination is appropriate.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Recovery is an important part of heart care. Therefore, the rehabilitation team helps patients follow a suitable recovery plan. During this process, healthcare professionals monitor progress and provide guidance based on each patient’s condition.
