The hospital combines technology, expertise, and compassionate care to support patients at every stage of their treatment journey, from prevention to recovery.

Heart health is a top priority in modern medical care, as an increasing number of individuals worldwide face cardiovascular problems early in life. Burjeel Hospital – Al Najda Street in Abu Dhabi has established itself as a trusted destination for advanced cardiac care, where the cardiology department integrates the latest medical technologies with deep clinical expertise, focusing centrally on patient health throughout the treatment journey, leading to full recovery.

Center for Advanced Cardiac Procedures

The advanced cardiac catheterization labs are the core of Burjeel’s cardiology services, equipped with the latest imaging and surgical intervention tools designed to support complex coronary artery procedures, from cardiac catheterization and stent placement to structural interventions and heart defect corrections, as well as minimally invasive treatments that restore blood flow, repair damaged vessels, and often improve outcomes without the need for open-heart surgery.

Interventional Cardiology

Burjeel’s interventional cardiology team has extensive global expertise, especially in performing cardiac catheterization and stent placement for blocked arteries. Specialists are available 24/7 to provide immediate treatment in critical cases, reducing heart muscle damage.

The hospital has developed a specialized electrophysiology and arrhythmia treatment service for patients with heart rhythm disorders, allowing detailed evaluations to identify the source of these disturbances, with treatments ranging from medication adjustments to device implantation.

Advanced Technologies for Accurate Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Burjeel Hospital has invested carefully in cardiac imaging, offering the latest tools including 3D echocardiography, computed tomography coronary angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Heart Failure Clinic for Long-Term Health

Burjeel Hospital addresses chronic heart failure through a dedicated Heart Failure Clinic, which follows a comprehensive approach involving cardiologists, nurses, nutritionists, and rehabilitation specialists. Patients receive personalized plans combining medications, lifestyle guidance, and regular monitoring.

Recovery Through a Tailored Rehabilitation Program

After heart surgery or a serious event like a heart attack, recovery does not end upon hospital discharge. Recovery is often lengthy, and Burjeel’s “Post-Operative Cardiac Rehabilitation” program is designed to make this journey smoother. Rehabilitation plans typically include supervised exercise sessions, nutritional consultations, and stress management.

24/7 Emergency Services

Burjeel Hospital has developed an immediate response system available around the clock, staffed by specialists trained to diagnose and treat heart attacks and other urgent conditions without delay. On-site catheterization labs enable life-saving interventions within minutes of patient arrival. This rapid response is critical to preserving heart muscle and improving survival rates. Ambulance coordination protocols and patient triage ensure smooth routing to the appropriate care pathway.

In a region where cardiovascular diseases remain a major health challenge, Burjeel Hospital’s commitment to comprehensive cardiac care offers hope and healing, opening new horizons for healthier lives.
