Our Facilities...

Centrally located in the heart of Kingston at 23 Balmoral Avenue, Kingston 10, the Heart Institute of the Caribbean is Jamaica's premier specialty health center. We also have branches in Mandeville, and Ocho Rios.

Patients will enjoy the warm, personal atmosphere of the Heart Institute of the Caribbean from the moment they enter the facility and throughout their entire visit. When patients walk into the lobby, a customer service representative will greet them and review admission information, answer questions and ensure that patients receive proper care during their visit, as well as the necessary information upon discharge.

Each patient examination room is private. Patients can consult with the physician and have their physical examination and electrocardiogram done in the privacy and convenience of their patient room.

The Heart Institute of the Caribbean provides a full array of diagnostic testing for cardiac, vascular and thoracic disease. Here, nuclear imaging is performed to help the cardiologist view the heart muscle and surrounding organs such as the lungs. This diagnostic tool can help with the assessment of the heart and lung functions.

The Heart Institute of the Caribbean catheterization lab is set up to be interchangeable for vascular, electrophysiology and general cardiology services. Here patients may have procedures done to check the electrical system of the heart, check for any blockages, or have a pacemaker implanted. By providing seamless transition from diagnosis to treatment, patients avoid being moved from lab to lab and quicken their recovery and lessen their procedural times.

In the Stress Test Laboratory various types of stress tests are performed. These tests are used to determine the amount of stress that your heart can manage before developing either an abnormal rhythm or evidence of inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle. Here in the Echo Laboratory, an echocardiogram is performed. This non-invasive test uses sound waves, which can illustrate how well your heart muscle and valves are working. This test can also measure the size of your heart muscle.
