About the Hospital
The Only Thing Asia Heart Does Is Hearts
Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital (武汉亚洲心脏病医院) was established as a dedicated private cardiac hospital and has grown to become one of the most recognised cardiac centres in Asia by volume and outcomes. With over 10,000 cardiac procedures performed annually — from CABG and valve surgery to complex congenital heart disease and device implantation — the hospital's surgeons operate at a frequency that translates directly into superior technical outcomes for high-risk cases.
As a private institution, Asia Heart offers a fundamentally different patient experience to Wuhan's large public hospitals. Private rooms are the standard, not a premium upgrade. Pre-admission assessment appointments are typically available within one week. Surgical scheduling is not subject to the delays common in high-demand public hospital operating lists. For international patients who need cardiac surgery but cannot tolerate a long wait, Asia Heart provides the right combination of excellent surgical skill and private-sector efficiency.
The hospital's interventional cardiology team is equally strong, managing coronary disease, structural heart conditions (TAVI, MitraClip), and complex electrophysiology cases including ablation for atrial fibrillation. China Care coordinates all referrals to Asia Heart's patient liaison team, which is experienced with international case management.
"Every surgeon, every nurse, every piece of equipment at Asia Heart exists for one purpose — and that single focus produces outcomes that generalist hospitals rarely match for cardiac cases."
Why Patients Choose Asia Heart
Three reasons international patients choose Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital
Dedicated Cardiac Focus
100% of Asia Heart's resources — its operating theatres, ICUs, nursing staff, imaging equipment, and specialist teams — are dedicated to cardiovascular medicine. There are no competing surgical lists, no allocation conflicts, no generalist care diluting specialist focus. For a patient who needs cardiac surgery, this environment produces better decision-making, faster peri-operative response, and nursing care that understands cardiac-specific recovery deeply.
Private Speed & Service
No public hospital queues. Pre-admission assessment appointments are typically available within one week of case submission. Private rooms are standard on all wards. Treatment costs are quoted directly by the hospital before you confirm any procedure. For international patients who need cardiac surgery on a defined timeline rather than an unpredictable public waiting list, Asia Heart's private structure makes planning straightforward.
High-Volume Surgical Expertise
With over 10,000 cardiac procedures annually, Asia Heart's surgeons operate at a frequency that exceeds most cardiac programmes in Asia. High-volume cardiac surgery is strongly associated with lower mortality and complication rates, particularly for complex valve surgery, multi-vessel CABG, and congenital heart correction — cases where technical repetition genuinely matters. China Care recommends Asia Heart specifically for patients requiring high-level cardiac surgical expertise.

How to Access Cardiac Treatment at Asia Heart Hospital
China Care coordinates the full process from case submission to discharge, working with Asia Heart's patient liaison team throughout.
Step 1
Submit Your Cardiac Records to China Care
Share your cardiac records: echocardiogram report, ECG, coronary angiography or CT coronary angiogram (if available), any existing cardiology assessment, and a brief description of your symptoms and current medications. China Care prepares a bilingual cardiac case summary within 1–2 working days.
cardiac records · 1–2 days
Step 2
China Care Contacts Asia Heart’s Coordination Team — Remote Eligibility Assessment
China Care submits your case to Asia Heart's international patient coordination team. The cardiac surgery or interventional team reviews your records and provides a remote eligibility assessment and treatment recommendation — typically CABG vs. PCI for coronary disease, surgical vs. transcatheter approach for valve disease, or ablation strategy for arrhythmia. Most cases receive an initial response within 3–5 days.

Step 3
Travel to Wuhan for Your In-Person Consultation
You travel to Wuhan for your own in-person consultation with the cardiac surgical or interventional team. The specialist confirms the treatment plan and provides a formal cost estimate — this step is required before admission is confirmed. A pre-operative assessment appointment is typically available within one week of confirming your intention to proceed. China Care's bilingual coordinator supports you throughout.

Step 4
Admission & Treatment
You are admitted to a private room. China Care coordinates your arrival and admission with Asia Heart's patient liaison team. Post-operative cardiac ICU monitoring follows all major surgical procedures, with step-down to a private ward room as recovery progresses. Nursing staff in the private wards are experienced in cardiac post-operative care.
All treatment fees are paid directly to the hospital via international bank transfer or by the method confirmed before admission. China Care does not collect or handle medical payments.

Common Questions
What patients ask about Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital
Should I choose Asia Heart or Wuhan Union Hospital for cardiac surgery?
Both are excellent choices for cardiac surgery. Wuhan Union Hospital is a top-10 public hospital with strong cardiac surgery outcomes and the advantage of being affiliated with a major medical university, which may be relevant for complex cases involving other organ systems. Asia Heart is the better choice when private accommodation, shorter wait times, and dedicated cardiac focus are priorities. For patients where cardiac surgery is the only issue and who want a faster, more streamlined private experience, Asia Heart is often the preferred option. China Care helps you decide based on your specific case.
What is the difference between valve repair and valve replacement?
Valve repair preserves your natural valve tissue and is generally preferred when technically feasible, as it avoids the need for lifelong anticoagulation that comes with mechanical valve replacement. Asia Heart's surgeons are experienced in complex mitral valve repair. When repair is not possible due to extensive valve damage or calcification, replacement with either a mechanical valve (durable, requires blood thinners) or a biological valve (no anticoagulation, but may need re-operation after 15–20 years) is performed. The surgical team recommends the most appropriate option for your anatomy and lifestyle.
Is TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) available at Asia Heart?
Yes — Asia Heart performs TAVI for patients with severe aortic stenosis at high or intermediate surgical risk. TAVI involves inserting a new valve through a catheter via the femoral artery, avoiding open-chest surgery. The procedure requires a heart team assessment including CT angiography for valve sizing and a multidisciplinary discussion between the interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon. Recovery time is typically 3–5 days in hospital versus 5–7 days for surgical valve replacement. China Care can arrange a pre-travel TAVI eligibility assessment based on your imaging.
How long will I need to stay in Wuhan after cardiac surgery?
For CABG and open valve surgery, the typical hospital stay is 7–10 days, followed by a recommended 2–3 week recovery period in Wuhan before long-distance travel is safe. TAVI patients typically stay 3–5 days in hospital and may be able to fly within 2 weeks of the procedure. Ablation for atrial fibrillation usually requires 2–3 days in hospital. China Care assists with planning your post-procedure accommodation and arranging follow-up appointments before your departure.
How do cardiac surgery costs at Asia Heart compare to Western countries?
As a private hospital, Asia Heart's costs are higher than Wuhan's public hospitals but remain substantially lower than equivalent procedures in Western countries or the Middle East. Treatment costs are quoted directly by the hospital before you confirm any procedure. China Care provides a full itemised cost estimate as part of the pre-travel assessment. We never add to or mark up the hospital's quoted treatment cost.
Does Asia Heart have experience treating adults with congenital heart disease?
Yes. Asia Heart's cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology teams are experienced with congenital heart disease in adults — including patients who had repairs in childhood and now require re-operation, and adults with defects not corrected in childhood. Common procedures include percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), surgical repair of ventricular septal defects, and complex congenital re-operations. The pre-operative workup includes detailed cardiac imaging to plan the safest approach for re-operative cases.
