Yonsei University Health System, which has contributed to the development of Korean medicine since 1885, has established the Severance Cardiovascular Hospital that is the first national specialist cardiovascular disease medical care center, to celebrate two centuries since its foundation.

Severance Cardiovascular Hospital consists of our medical staff with deep medical knowledge and skills in the area of cardiovascular diseases. We can proudly say that we provide an exceptional quality of rejection reaction tests and determinations that precede organ transplantations, such as heart transplantation and lung transplantation.

Since we performed the national first coronary angioplasty in 1983, we have been leading the development of new coronary artery treatment techniques and the spread of technologies, while continuously growing through recent co-research projects with the world’s most distinguished professional cardiovascular institutions.

Severance Cardiovascular Hospital will commit all its capabilities to the prevention, treatment and study of cardiovascular diseases with our whole medical staff, with the goal of becoming a world-class specialist heart disease hospital.
