Ken Arima (Department of Cardiology)

I have been working as a cardiologist since April 2014. In the following year, we welcomed Dr. Urata, and we also opened a catheterization room, making it possible to diagnose and treat angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction. We have a system in place to treat a wide range of cardiovascular diseases.

In outpatient care, we mainly manage lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and strive to prevent the progression of arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, it is said that 1 in 2 people will develop cancer in the present age where longevity is possible, so we are striving for early detection by regularly performing CT, ultrasound, blood sampling, etc.
In the hospital ward, we diagnose angina pectoris and myocardial infarction by coronary angiography, treat with stents, perform surgeries such as pacemaker implantation, and treat heart failure with intravenous drips and adjustment of internal medications.

I aspire to be a doctor who can gain peace of mind and trust through long-term relationships with patients and their families.
