A Legacy of Excellence: The Armenian Heart Revolution

The story of Cardiology Treatment in Armenia is one of international collaboration and deep expertise. In the early 1990s, with the support of the Armenian Diaspora in the United States and Europe, the Nork-Marash Medical Center was founded in Yerevan. Led by renowned cardiothoracic surgeons trained at top Western institutions like the Albert Starr Academic Center in Portland, Oregon, this center set a high bar for the entire region.

Today, Armenia’s cardiology centers—including Nork-Marash, Erebouni, and Astghik—are equipped with the same cutting-edge technology you would find in Houston, London, or Berlin. Armenian cardiologists frequently publish research in international journals and maintain success rates that rival the best in Europe. For instance, the mortality rate for acute myocardial infarction in leading Armenian invasive cardiology clinics is approximately 5.8%, a figure that is strictly comparable to top-tier European institutions.

When you choose Armenia, you arent just choosing a "budget" option; you are choosing a medical system with a thirty-year legacy of saving lives through high-volume, high-success practice.
