Medical Tourists Can Now Easily Perform Heart Examinations and Treatments

Dream - There are many misunderstandings and myths associated with heart disease. Some people believe that young people do not need to consider heart disease as only experienced by the elderly. This is not true because heart health problems and even heart attacks can occur at any age.

The prevalence of coronary heart disease in young adults is slowly increasing due to smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity, and other factors that put pressure on the cardiovascular system. Additionally, there are non-modifiable risk factors such as family history or genetic factors.

"Early Examination"

Therefore, awareness of heart health can increase the likelihood of preventing fatal conditions. Health examinations or screenings can detect abnormalities in a person's body system, allowing for early intervention.

To increase awareness about heart health, Cardiac Vascular Sentral Kuala Lumpur (CVSKL) offers the program "Check Up, Check In."

"Paket Pemeriksaan" in English is "Examination Package".

General Manager of CVSKL, Wong Chun Keong, said that this program includes a comprehensive health check-up package for two people, a two-night stay in a hotel, and 2 round-trip tickets to and from CVSKL and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). "Due to the importance of medical tourism, we actively explore opportunities to attract international patients. They come to CVSKL to seek a second opinion and high-quality yet affordable healthcare services," he said.

"Reference Hospital"

Wong Chun Keong explained that this program is designed to provide a smooth health examination experience for those who travel to Malaysia. Meanwhile, Lim Wan Ying, the International Marketing Manager of CVSKL, said that CVSKL is one of the referral heart hospitals for Indonesian patients.

CVSKL recently made a breakthrough in the field of health by performing its first successful MitraClip procedure to treat mitral valve regurgitation. This also makes it the first private hospital in Malaysia to offer advanced treatment for this disorder.

"Prosedur MitraClip" in English is "MitraClip Procedure".

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Prosedur MitraClip in certain cases, it is said, can treat mitral valve regurgitation without open-heart surgery. The heart has a one-way pump that supplies blood to the entire body. It consists of four chambers and four valves, and each valve has a cover (flap or valve)."

Imagine the valve as a one-way swing door that ensures blood flow into the body. One of the valves is called the mitral valve. Under certain conditions, the valve's closure cannot be perfect or the size and shape of the valve change, causing blood leakage.

"Heart Failure"

This leakage is called mitral valve regurgitation or mitral valve insufficiency. If left untreated, severe mitral valve regurgitation can lead to heart failure and arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm).

"Because there is no chest incision, the MitraClip procedure offers an alternative to conventional mitral valve surgery, making it an ideal treatment option for elderly patients, high-risk patients, and patients with underlying health conditions."
