Hokkaido Cardiovascular Hospital
About
Hokkaido Cardiovascular Hospital, operated by a social medical corporation, is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, and has long served as a specialist institution for cardiovascular diseases supporting regional healthcare. With cardiovascular surgery and cardiology at its core, the hospital is committed to providing care based on the latest evidence-based medicine (EBM). It performs catheter-based treatments for a wide range of cardiovascular conditions—including ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, aortic stenosis, and arrhythmia—and maintains an on-site Advanced Medical Research Institute to ensure a high level of specialized expertise. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Center offers programs specifically designed to prevent disease progression and recurrence, and is notable for incorporating outdoor activities such as walking skiing and snowshoeing, reflecting a patient-centered approach to rehabilitation. The hospital also houses a Heart Failure Center, a Blood Purification Center, and a Preventive Medicine Center offering comprehensive medical checkups and health screenings, enabling integrated care from treatment through to prevention. Consultations are available on weekday mornings and afternoons as well as Saturday mornings, with a 24-hour emergency contact for urgent cases. English-speaking staff are available, and the hospital accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. The facility is fully barrier-free and equipped with multiple dedicated parking areas. A free shuttle bus operates from Sumikawa and Shiroishi subway stations, making the hospital conveniently accessible by public transportation.
