Welcome to the Bulgarian Cardiac Institute

The Bulgarian Cardiac Institute is at the forefront of the fight against cardiovascular disease – the number one killer in the world today.

We are a family of four, soon to be 5, specialized hospitals with a reputation for excellence and patient satisfaction. Our growing team of 125 physicians and more than 380 nurses is passionate about improving the quality of care for cardiovascular patients.

Our excellent patient satisfaction rates and medical outcomes show that our dedication has produced outstanding results. Our renowned specialists hail from four countries in Europe and share the belief that “The Patient Always Comes First.”

Our Mission is to improve the life of cardiovascular patients through better outcomes, patient-centered care and education.

50% of all life-saving myocardial infarction procedures in Bulgaria in 2010 were performed in BCI hospitals.

In-hospital mortality from myocardial infarction decreased more than three times in regions with a BCI hospital.

All patients with cardiovascular disease are seen within one day of their request.
