The CK Hui Heart Centre specializes in the non-surgical treatment of coronary artery disease, as well as interventional cardiology. Ten years ago, this was considered a new field in cardiac care, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital established itself as a leader in this area. However, its pedigree goes back much further.

For more than 50 years, the cardiology team at the Royal Alexandra Hospital has prided themselves on advancing the science of cardiology through innovative and sometimes ground-breaking procedures and treatments. Things that were once considered risky or even radical are now accepted as standard procedure for cardiac patients across Canada, thanks in part to the adoption of innovative techniques and cutting-edge technology.
