Arrhythmia Treatment in BNH Hospital
About the clinic
Arrhythmia treatment at BNH Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, focuses on restoring normal heart rhythms through advanced electrophysiology services. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and brings over 125 years of medical experience to cardiac care. Dr. Tachawut Tiensuntisook, a specialist in cardiology and electrophysiology, leads the treatment for patients with irregular heartbeats.
Advanced arrhythmia diagnostics
The Heart Centre uses a variety of tests to identify the specific type of heart rhythm disorder. These diagnostics help the medical team choose the most effective treatment plan. Patients have access to several monitoring and imaging tools:
- Electrocardiogram (resting EKG). This test records the electrical activity of the heart while at rest.
- Holter monitor. A portable device that tracks the heart rhythm for 24 hours or longer.
- Tilt table test. This test helps evaluate how the heart and blood pressure respond to changes in position.
- Echocardiography. Both transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) versions are available to view heart structures.
- Stress tests. These include exercise stress tests and dobutamine stress echocardiograms to monitor the heart under physical strain.
- Ambulatory blood pressure monitor. This tracks blood pressure changes throughout the day and night.
Treatment and surgical options
Dr. Tachawut Tiensuntisook specializes in correcting heart rhythm issues using both surgical and medical methods. The choice of therapy depends on whether the heart beats too fast, too slow, or unevenly. The clinic provides the following options:
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This procedure follows an electrophysiological study (EPS). It uses radiofrequency energy to remove the small area of heart tissue causing the abnormal rhythm.
- Pacemaker implantation. This surgery is for patients with slow heart rates or heart block. The device helps the heart maintain a stable and regular beat.
- Anticoagulant therapy. This medical approach is used for atrial fibrillation. It helps prevent blood clots and reduces the risk of stroke.
The Cardiovascular Kidney Metabolic Centre at BNH Hospital provides specialized care for complex cases. Dr. Tachawut Tiensuntisook graduated from Chulalongkorn University and focuses on using minimally invasive techniques to improve patient recovery. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your treatment plan with the cardiology team.

BNH Hospital: more details about the clinic
Specialized Cancer Screening and Care
The hospital focuses on early detection through advanced genomic technology. Its **ctDNA multi-cancer screening package** uses Next Generation Sequencing to identify risks for five cancer types:
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Liver cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Stomach cancer
For colorectal health, the clinic offers **SDC2 Methylation** testing. This blood or stool-based test reaches up to 90% accuracy – no colonoscopy or bowel prep needed. If skin cancer is found, specialists perform **Mohs Surgery**. They remove and examine tissue layer by layer during the procedure to preserve healthy skin.
Urology and Men's Health
The M Centre specializes in non-surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The center uses **iTind technology** – a device inserted into the urethra to reshape tissue without incisions. This 15-minute procedure uses IV sedation. Most patients don't need a catheter or hospital stay.
Specialists also provide Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy, which uses thermal energy to shrink the prostate. Dr. Suntchai Wirojsangthong, trained at Chulalongkorn University, leads the urological team. Clinic data shows iTind patients gain an 11.4% improvement in urine flow. After three years, no cases of sexual dysfunction have been reported.
Neuroscience and Spinal Surgery
The BNH Neuroscience Centre treats brain and spinal disorders, including stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. Surgeons perform several **minimally invasive spinal fusion** techniques through incisions of just 1.5–3 cm:
- Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF)
- Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
- Transpsoas interbody fusion (DLIF or XLIF)
- Oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLLIF)
**3D O-Arm navigation** guides instruments with high precision during these procedures. The center also has physiotherapists and occupational therapists who help patients recover from spinal cord injuries or multiple sclerosis.
Gastroenterology and Eye Care
The Digestive Care Centre uses endoscopy systems with **AI and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)** technology from Japan. These tools improve visualization of the digestive tract to detect ulcers, H. pylori infections, or esophageal problems. Packages include bowel preparation, sedation, and interpretation by a Consultant Gastroenterologist.
The Eye Department on the second floor treats adults and children, including those with strabismus. Dr. Chavisa Bunyavee, a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist, performs microscopic eye muscle surgeries. The department uses **Goldman Applanation Tonometry** to measure eye pressure.
International Patient Services
BNH Hospital runs Thailand's first International Travel Medicine Clinic. This unit offers tourists and expatriates medical advice, tropical disease consultations, and vaccine guidance. Tropical disease specialists and nurses support travelers entering or leaving Thailand. The hospital provides all coordination and medical services in **English**.
