IJN provides extensive range of heart treatments including angiogram and angioplasty procedures via radial artery, implantation of AICDs, minimally invasive surgeries, stent implantations, endoscopic vein harvesting,off-pump surgery ,bypass surgery on 'awake' patients and implantation of mechanical heart assist device which are now already available at IJN.
Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) merupakan hospital pakar untuk pesakit jantung di Malaysia. IJN ditubuhkan pada September 1992, terletak di sebelah kiri Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, Kuala Lumpur. Kos pembinaan sebanyak RM15.5 juta. Ia diuruskan oleh IJN Holdings Sdn Bhd, milik penuh Kementerian Kewangan (99.9 %).

Institut Jantung Negara (IJN, also known as the National Heart Institute) is Malaysia’s premier heart center and the national referral center for cardiovascular disease, treating adult and pediatric patients from all over the country and abroad. Established in 1992, IJN is an integrated, one-stop center for comprehensive cardiologic care and cardiothoracic surgery. Its variety of treatment options range from simple surgery for a "hole in the heart" to transplantation for complex heart failure. Post-treatment, the institute's complete rehabilitation programs incorporate physical and emotional support and dietary counseling.
IJN’s team of physicians has introduced innovations in interventional procedures for diagnosis and treatment as well as surgeries. The array of cardiovascular and thoracic procedures performed at IJN includes electrophysiology, endoscopic vein harvesting, angiogram and angioplasty via radial artery, minimally invasive surgery, off-pump surgery, bypass surgery on “awake” patients, automatic internal cardiac defibrillator implantation, stent implantation, and implantation of a heart-assist device as a bridge to transplantation for heart failure patients.
The institute also offers Executive Screening Programs or Heart Screening Packages with emphasis on the heart and prevention of heart disease. The complete program includes blood tests for hemoglobin, cell counts, cholesterol and related fats, blood sugar, kidney function, electrolytes, and uric acid; urine test; chest x-ray and electrocardiogram; lung function and treadmill stress tests; and more. Doctors discuss the findings with the patient within one day and provide a comprehensive report within two weeks.
There are three (3) types of screening packages available:
- Standard Heart Screening Package
- Executive Heart Screening Package
- Elite Heart Screening Package
IJN is also affiliated with Papworth Hospital, NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, England; Kansai University Medical Center, Osaka, Japan; the Heart and Diabetes Center, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany; Hanoi Heart Center, Vietnam; Liverpool John Moores University, England; and the University of South Australia, Adelaide.

Cardiology
Our Invasive Cardiovascular Laboratories (ICL) have one of the latest such as Prucka Dual monitor Cardiolab, a sophisticated computerized electrophysiology and haemodynamic laboratory system using the optical disk storage of digitized information, radiofrequency-ablation lesion generator and blood stimulator for electrophysiology studies.
Cardiology Department has always kept abreast of latest development and advancement in balloon and stent technology that enabled our cardiologists to successfully pursue not only more complex coronary lesions but also peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with stenting on carotid, renal, iliac or femoral arteries. IJN performs 81 types of diagnostic and therapeutic invasive procedures.
The most commonly performed procedures are:
- Cardiac catheterisation
- Coronary angiography
- Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
- Peripheral Cardiovascular Intervention (PCI)
- Percutaneous Transveous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC)
- Pacemaker Implantations (temporary and permanent)
- Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
- Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA Occlusion)
- Balloon Dilatation (pulmonary and aortic)
- Coil Embolisation
- Electro Physiological Study (EPS)
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
- For non-invasive procedures, the most common procedures are:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiogram (including transthoracic,TTE (2D) and transeosophageal echocardiogram with colour flow and doppler)
- Foetal Echocardiogram
- Stress test
- Stress Echocardiogram
- Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram
