Here at the Heart Center at the Shaheed Sardar Mohammad Dawood Khan Complex Hospital Kabul, we work hard to offer the best treatments to adults & children with cardiopathies. The Heart Center brings together two departments to provide care to patients with cardiac diseases: Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. Our staff members diagnose and treat adults, children with coronary artery diseases (CAD) and Heart Valvular diseases including Aortic diseases. We also treat structural congenital heart defects. We work hard to offer our patients the best treatment possible, with world-leading standards of excellence. We boast one of the lowest surgical mortality rates, and a very low reintervention rate.
