Chung-Ang Daegwangmyeong Hospital has been designated for the first time in Korea as an international zero-radiation zero (0) pulsed field resection education center
Apr 24, 2025
Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital announced on the 24th that it was designated as an international 'zero radiation (0) pulse field resection education center' for the first time in Korea. This designation is from Boston Scientific Corporation in the United States and is a special qualification given only to medical institutions with abundant clinical experience, high skills, and research capabilities in zero-radiation procedures.
Chung-Ang Daegwangmyeong Hospital is providing more systematic and specialized medical services by specializing in arrhythmia treatment, a severe heart disease, through the arrhythmia center that opened earlier this year. Recently, it has been designated as an international 'zero radiation (0) arrhythmia training center' by Abbott in the United States, promoting community health as well as raising its status as an international educational institution.
The designation of this international 'Zero(0) Pulse field resection Training Center' has even greater significance. In January, Chung-Ang Daegwangmyeong Hospital succeeded in 'zero radiation pulse field resection' for the first time in Korea, and so far, it has been safely and rapidly progressing zero radiation pulse field resection in more than 50 patients with atrial fibrillation. Pulse field resection is a treatment that was recognized as a new medical technology in December last year. Central Daegwangmyeong Hospital performed a zero-radiation procedure using intracardiac ultrasound for a large amount of radiation exposure, which was pointed out as the only disadvantage of pulse field resection, further ensuring patient safety and greatly improving treatment satisfaction.
Lim Hong-ui, a professor of circulatory medicine who leads the arrhythmia center, is a world-renowned authority on 'zero radiation (0) arrhythmia'. Professor Lim Hong-eui, who is the only in Korea to be qualified as an endocardial ultrasound proctor (a certified guidance expert who propagates, manages, and supervises treatments), is very famous overseas as an educator. With the high interest and reputation of zero-radiation procedures at home and abroad, leading medical staff from around the world, including the University of Toronto, Canada, the University of Minnesota, Hong Kong National University, and Taiwan National University, visit Professor Lim Hong-ui every year, starting with the Texas Heart Research Center in the U.S. in 2019. It conducts annual training for professional medical staff at home and abroad more than 10 times a year, and also operates a two-day workshop training program for overseas medical staff who visit every year.
In March, a medical team specializing in arrhythmia in Taiwan visited the Central Daegwangmyeong Hospital and toured the case of a zero (0) arrhythmia procedure using intracardiac ultrasound. Through the 'Hands-on' training using a simulator that deals with intracardiac ultrasound, they also received practical training similar to the actual procedure by touching and using them directly. Recently, interest in pulse field resection has been increasing at home and abroad, and an international workshop of 'Zero(0) Pulse field resection' will be held at the Central Daegwangmyeong Hospital in June (18th-19th).
Professor Lim Hong-eui said, "This designation of the educational center is the result of official recognition of the state-of-the-art treatment capabilities of Chung-Ang University Kwangmyong Hospital and its contribution to international medical education. We will continue to do our best to cultivate global medical talents as well as advanced patient-centered treatment."
