About
This cardiology clinic is located in Shirokanedai, Minato City, Tokyo, right in front of the exit of Takanawadai Station on the Toei Asakusa Line. The clinic provides general cardiology consultations and treatments, with a particular focus on arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation treatment, stroke prevention as a complication of these conditions, heart failure prevention, reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death, and pacemaker management—leveraging extensive experience as cardiology specialists. The clinic also handles conditions such as myocardial infarction, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, peripheral arterial disease of the lower limbs, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, pacemaker management, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) management. In general internal medicine, they treat lifestyle-related diseases associated with heart conditions such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hyperuricemia, and obesity, as well as thyroid disorders, renal failure, hay fever, asthma, headaches, and dizziness. As a sports cardiology clinic, they examine not only professional and amateur athletes but also anyone experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, loss of consciousness, or shortness of breath during or after exercise. Specialists provide diagnosis and treatment for inherited heart diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), long QT syndrome, and Brugada syndrome. They also issue medical certificates for school sports management classifications, as well as certificates indicating acceptable participation levels for sports involving risks such as triathlons, marathons, and scuba diving. The clinic emphasizes explaining treatment policies and procedures in an easy-to-understand manner, providing scientific evidence to ensure patients can receive treatment with confidence. Their approach includes avoiding polypharmacy and prescribing only the minimum necessary medications, as well as incorporating new medical technologies and information while collaborating with other advanced medical facilities.
