Advancing heart health in Malaysia: Comprehensive cardiac care at Pantai Hospitals
Preventing heart disease — one of Malaysia's top causes of death — through innovation and personalised care HEART disease continues to be one of Malaysia's most pressing health challenges, affecting individuals across all age groups. Pantai Hospitals are redefining cardiac care, offering cutting-edge treatments, precise diagnostics and personalised care to empower Malaysians to take charge of their heart health. The aim is to build a future where every heartbeat counts. Pantai Hospitals: A leader in cardiac care excellence Pantai Hospitals, part of IHH Healthcare Malaysia's network of 18 private hospitals nationwide, are dedicated to advancing cardiac care through a comprehensive range of services aimed at preventing, diagnosing and managing heart disease. Their approach integrates evidence-based medicine with state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment care plans, ensuring that both adult and paediatric patients receive personalised, high-quality care. Over the past three years, Pantai Hospitals have continuously provided cardiac care, showcasing their commitment to heart health. As the network continues to grow across the country, advanced, patient-focused cardiac care is brought closer to the communities that need it most. Pantai Hospitals reflect this commitment by delivering reliable, high-quality heart treatment, supported by cutting-edge technology and a skilled medical team. Pantai Hospitals offer a comprehensive range of cardiac sub-specialties, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and structural heart procedures. With access to the latest diagnostic modalities and evidence-based treatment care plans, new benchmarks in cardiac care are being set. Personalised treatment plans: Tailored care leveraging cath lab innovations Precision is prioritised at Pantai Hospitals, where treatment is tailored to each patient's specific condition and risk factors. Their state-of-the-art catheterisation labs (cath labs) serve as the hub for minimally invasive procedures that offer faster recovery time and reduced risks.

Some of the key interventions include the insertion of temporary or permanent pacemakers for patients with irregular heart rhythms, as well as angioplasty and stent placement to treat coronary artery disease. Angiograms, a key diagnostic tool, are also performed in the cath lab to assess blood flow in the coronary arteries, helping cardiologists determine the extent of blockages and guide treatment decisions. For patients requiring aortic valve replacements but who are deemed high risk for traditional surgery, the cath lab offers transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This procedure utilises advanced imaging and technology to ensure precision and safety, significantly improving patient outcomes with minimal recovery time. For more advanced cases, robotic-assisted surgeries provide unparalleled precision, allowing for greater success in even the most complex procedures. The focus is on delivering high-quality care that supports patient well-being, ensuring effective care with shorter recovery time and fewer complications. Comprehensive rehabilitation: Supporting long-term recovery Recovery extends beyond treatment and at Pantai Hospitals, patients receive customised rehabilitation programmes designed to help them regain strength, improve heart function and reduce the risk of future complications through a multidisciplinary approach. Personalised exercise routines, nutritional guidance and continuous monitoring ensure that each patient receives the support they need for a sustainable recovery and improved overall well-being. 24-hour emergency cardiac services Cardiac emergencies such as heart attacks, cardiac arrests and arrhythmias require immediate medical intervention. Pantai Hospitals' Accident and Emergency team is prepared around the clock to manage acute cardiac events. Equipped with the latest technologies, the team ensures prompt, expert treatment to enhance patient outcomes. This dedicated team consists of skilled emergency physicians, cardiologists, doctors and nurses, providing comprehensive, life-saving care. The future of cardiac care in Malaysia As heart disease continues to rise in Malaysia, driven by poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles and increasing levels of stress, the need for comprehensive cardiac care is more critical than ever. Pantai Hospitals remain committed to staying ahead of these challenges by investing in cutting-edge medical advancements, improving access to cardiac care and promoting public awareness on prevention. With hospitals across Malaysia, Pantai Hospitals make world-class cardiac care accessible to all. For more information or to schedule a consultation, visit KKLIU:1527 EXP:31.12.2027

Addressing Malaysia's rising cancer rates
CANCER remains a critical health challenge in Malaysia. This rising trend highlights the urgent need for effective interventions, as experts warn that the incidence of cancer could continue to escalate significantly if proactive measures are not implemented. When it comes to men, lung cancer is the most common type followed by colorectal and prostate cancers. For women, breast cancer is the most widespread, with colorectal and cervical cancers also being major concerns. What is even more worrying is that more cancers are being detected at advanced stages. This shows the urgent need to focus on preventing cancer, early detection and providing better treatments to help improve the lives of those affected. Acting now can make a big difference for the future health of Malaysians. Comprehensive cancer care approach Recognising the need for comprehensive cancer care, Gleneagles Hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Kota Kinabalu, which are part of IHH Healthcare Malaysia's network of 18 hospitals, are committed to providing comprehensive cancer care.

These centres are supported by a team of skilled oncologists, including specialists in clinical oncology, reinforcing the hospitals' commitment to excellence across all aspects of cancer treatment. Gleneagles Hospitals are redefining cancer care through cutting-edge technology, early detection, and patient-centric treatment, striving to improve survival rates and enhance the quality of life for every patient served.

The Digital PET-CT with Biograph Vision provides clearer imaging and enhances lesion detection, enabling oncologists to make more informed decisions. Meanwhile, the MRI Fusion Biopsy, which merges MRI with real-time ultrasound, delivers a less invasive and more accurate process for diagnosing conditions such as prostate cancer. Gleneagles Hospitals also offer comprehensive cancer screening programmes to detect common cancers, including breast, colorectal, lung, nasopharyngeal and liver cancers. These assist in early cancer detection, a key factor in improving survival rates and patient outcomes. The Linear Accelerator offers targeted radiotherapy, treating cancer cells effectively while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Innovative treatment approaches The da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery system exemplifies the hospital's approach to advanced treatment options. It allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with precision, reducing recovery times and improving patient outcomes. For individuals requiring radiotherapy, Gleneagles Hospitals offer treatment options such as the Linear Accelerator and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery. These precisely target cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue, providing non-invasive alternatives to traditional surgeries and ensuring faster recovery times. The da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with precision, potentially reducing recovery times and enhancing patient outcomes. Continuing rehabilitative care Rehabilitative care is a crucial part of the holistic care at Gleneagles Hospitals, which supports patients through every stage of their cancer journey. Post-treatment rehabilitation and continuous monitoring improve patients' overall well-being and recovery prospects. Cancer care for the underserved As part of the healthcare provider's mission to reduce the disease burden and make quality healthcare accessible, IHH Healthcare Malaysia has partnered with the Health Ministry to support cancer patients from government hospitals.
