Patient Care 本地开发新技术 助“无病因”心脏病患获诊治 新加坡国家心脏中心开发“功能性冠状动脉造影”技术，成功诊断100多名常规检查无法确诊的心绞痛患者。该技术通过压力传感导丝检测心脏毛细血管血流与压力，适用于无动脉阻塞但有胸痛症状的患者，尤以年长者、女性和糖尿病患者为主。新方法属“心寿计划”（CRANE）一部分，推动心血管照护从晚期治疗转向早期精准干预，提升年长者生活质量。

Patient Care Two new procedures at National Heart Centre Singapore to identify hidden heart diseases After experiencing chest pains in 2022, Frieda Matilda Desker was found to have severely narrowed heart arteries, subsequently undergoing an angioplasty to open her arteries. However, the 63-year-old part-time administrative officer continued to have chest pain, even though repeated scans showed no abnormalities. In 2025, she was referred to the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), where she underwent a functional coronary angiography – a more sensitive test that evaluates how the heart’s blood vessels behave.
