The Heart Clinic’s Advantages

Internal Medicine Built Around the Heart — and What Accompanies ItOur approach doesn't stop at the presenting complaint. We take future cardiovascular risk into account from the start, and we design care to continue well past the point of treatment — with close attention,
clear guideline-based standards, and continuity of care over time.

The Five Principles Behind Our Care

Accurate diagnosis. Explanations you can actually understand. Continuous, ongoing care. These are the principles behind how we practice medicine.

Point 01

Clinical Depth, from a Cardiologist

Dr. Haegeun Song completed her fellowship training
in general and interventional cardiology at Asan Medical Center
and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Ulsan College of Medicine.
She later served as a professor of cardiology and director
of the cardiac rehabilitation center
at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital.

Her research has appeared in more than 40 peer-reviewed papers,
including NEJM, Circulation, and JACC — work that shapes ho
she evaluates heart disease and its accompanying chronic conditions together,
rather than as separate problems.

Point 02

Time to Talk, and Explanations Grounded in Evidence

New patients are given the time an initial consultation actually calls for. Beyond your current symptoms, we take into account
your cardiovascular risk factors, medical history, family history,
and current medications before recommending a direction for care. Every result and every treatment recommendation is grounded
in the guidelines of the American, European, and Korean
cardiology societies — and explained clearly enough that you can follow the reasoning, not just the conclusion.

Point 03

A Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Designed by a Cardiologist

Care after a cardiac procedure or surgery isn't the end of treatment.
It's another phase of it, focused on recovery and reducing the risk
of recurrence. Our home-based cardiac rehabilitation program
was designed by a cardiologist, and brings exercise guidance,
medication management, lifestyle counseling,
and risk-factor management together into a single, coordinated plan.

Point 04

Digital Health, Applied with Judgment

Dr. Song previously led clinical research at a medical AI company,
an experience that informs how digital tools are used in your care here: selectively, and only where the clinical evidence supports it. Blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG readings taken outside
the clinic can be incorporated into your record, giving your physician a fuller picture than an office visit alone provides.

Point 05

A System Built for International Patients

Dr. Song spent six years treating international patients
at a cardiac specialty hospital in Shanghai, an experience
that gave her a close view of what it means to navigate medical care
in an unfamiliar country. That perspective informs how The Heart Clinic
supports its foreign patients: consultations in English,
English-language prescriptions and medical certificates,
clear explanations of test results, and support with multinational
insurance billing — coordinated as a single system rather
than a series of separate requests.

Areas of Care

Cardiac symptoms are rarely evaluated in isolation here. From chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath to risk factors like hypertension,
high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity, care is approached as one connected picture — with diagnostic testing linked directly to the management that follows.

Cardiac Symptom Evaluation
Heart Disease Management
Cardiac Rehabilitation and Post-Procedure Care
Integrated Chronic Disease Care
Follow-Up for Abnormal Screening Results
Preoperative Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Diagnosing Cardiac Symptoms

Chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, fainting, dizziness —
symptoms that may indicate cardiovascular disease are evaluated carefully.

Treatment of Heart Disease

Angina, heart attack, arrhythmia, heart failure, valvular disease —
conditions that call for ongoing monitoring and medication adjustment are managed here.

Cardiac Rehabilitation & Post-Procedure Care

Following a stent procedure or heart surgery, care continues through the course of recovery: exercise guidance, medication management, lifestyle changes, and risk-reduction planning.

Integrated Chronic Disease Care

Hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity are risk factors closely tied to cardiovascular health. Care here goes beyond controlling the numbers —
it means understanding how each condition may be affecting your heart and blood vessels.

Follow-Up on Abnormal Screening Results

An abnormal ECG, a suspected enlarged heart, elevated cholesterol,
an irregular carotid ultrasound — findings from a routine screening
that call for a closer look are reviewed here, through a cardiologist's perspective.

Pre-Operative Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

For patients with existing heart disease, or currently on cardiac medication,
who are facing non-cardiac surgery, we review your current condition
and evaluate whether medication adjustment may be needed before you proceed.
