Nepal's premier cardiac surgery centre — offering world-class cardiovascular and cardiothoracic care led by Prof. Dr. Bhagawan Koirala, the pioneer of open heart surgery in Nepal. From life-saving bypass surgery to advanced interventional cardiology — your heart is in the best hands.
Chief Cardiovascular & Cardiothoracic Surgeon — a living legend of Nepali medicine and the architect of cardiac surgery in Nepal.
Prof. Dr. Bhagawan Koirala is Nepal's most distinguished cardiovascular surgeon and a national icon in cardiac care. With over 30 years of clinical and surgical experience, he has performed thousands of successful open heart surgeries, transforming the landscape of cardiac medicine in Nepal. He is widely revered as the pioneer of open heart surgery in Nepal — the surgeon who proved that world-class cardiac care can be delivered right here in the heart of the Himalayas.
A graduate and former Dean of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Tribhuvan University, Prof. Koirala has dedicated his career not only to saving lives but to building the next generation of Nepali cardiac surgeons through mentorship and institutional development. His expertise spans the full spectrum of cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgery, from complex coronary artery bypass grafting to paediatric congenital heart repair.
From preventive screening to complex open heart surgery — HAMS Hospital provides the full spectrum of cardiovascular care under one roof.
Coronary artery bypass grafting to restore blood flow to the heart. On-pump and off-pump (beating heart) techniques available. Ideal for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
Repair or replacement of damaged heart valves (mitral, aortic, tricuspid) using mechanical or biological prosthetic valves. Both open and minimally invasive approaches offered.
Corrective surgery for congenital heart conditions including ASD, VSD, Tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great arteries. Expert paediatric and adult congenital heart care.
Permanent pacemaker implantation for bradycardia and heart block. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement for life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest prevention.
State-of-the-art cardiac catheterisation laboratory for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI / stenting). Drug-eluting stents for optimal outcomes.
Comprehensive non-invasive cardiac imaging: 2D and 3D echocardiography, stress echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and Doppler studies for valvular and structural assessment.
Structured post-surgical and post-cardiac event rehabilitation programme. Supervised exercise training, nutritional guidance, psychological support, and lifestyle modification counselling.
Cardiac risk assessment, lipid profile management, hypertension control, diabetes-cardiac screening, and comprehensive executive heart check-up packages for early detection and prevention.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Early recognition of warning signs can save your life. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following.
Persistent or recurring chest pain, tightness, squeezing, or pressure — especially during physical activity or stress. This is the most common symptom of coronary artery disease and should never be ignored.
Unexplained breathlessness during routine activities or while lying down (orthopnoea). Difficulty breathing can indicate heart failure, valvular disease, or pulmonary hypertension.
Feeling your heart race, flutter, skip beats, or pound irregularly. While often benign, persistent palpitations may signal arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation that require treatment.
Frequent lightheadedness, sudden dizziness, or episodes of fainting (syncope) can be caused by heart rhythm disorders, heart valve problems, or inadequate blood flow to the brain.
Unexplained swelling (oedema) in the legs, ankles, or feet can indicate heart failure, where the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, causing fluid retention in the lower extremities.
Chronic, unexplained exhaustion — especially if routine activities that were once easy now leave you unusually tired. This may signal underlying heart disease or reduced cardiac output.
⚠️ If you experience sudden severe chest pain, loss of consciousness, or difficulty breathing, call emergency services or visit the nearest emergency department immediately.
