Our Team

At Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic, our strength lies in the expertise and dedication of our medical team. Comprising seasoned interventional cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and highly trained clinical staff, our team shares a unified mission: to provide safe, effective, and compassionate cardiovascular care rooted in the latest medical science.

Founded in 2008 by Dr. Tsutomu Fujita, a pioneer in interventional cardiology, the clinic was established to enhance access to advanced heart care in Hokkaido. Dr. Fujita, who previously served at Hokkaido Ohno Hospital—one of the region’s leading cardiovascular surgery centers—brought with him decades of surgical and interventional experience, along with a vision to build a center of excellence in cardiovascular medicine.

Under his leadership, Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic quickly rose to national prominence. By focusing on early detection and patient-friendly diagnostics, the clinic avoids unnecessary invasive procedures and delivers precise, tailored care. Over the years, it has attracted a dynamic team of specialists who not only excel in clinical practice but also contribute actively to academic research, international conferences, and the training of future cardiovascular professionals.

In 2012, the clinic expanded to offer full cardiac surgery services, completing its evolution into a comprehensive cardiovascular hospital. Today, Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic is ranked among the top cardiovascular centers in Japan and is recognized as the No. 1 facility in Hokkaido for both cardiovascular medicine and surgery.

Together, our experienced team continues to uphold the highest standards of care, innovation, and medical leadership in cardiovascular health.

Our Service

At SCVC Cardiovascular Clinic, we provide a wide array of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services, all designed to prioritize your heart health. The following are just a few examples of the comprehensive care we offer, each tailored to accurately diagnose, treat, and manage a variety of cardiovascular conditions with the highest level of expertise and precision.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick and non-invasive test used to measure the electrical signals in the heart. This test helps diagnose heart attacks, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), and other heart conditions by capturing the heart's electrical activity.

Holter

A Holter monitor is a small, portable device worn by the patient to continuously record heart rhythm, typically for 1 to 2 days. It is used to detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and provide more detailed information when a traditional ECG doesn't offer sufficient data.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

ABPM measures your blood pressure over a 24-hour period as you go about your normal daily activities. A small digital monitor is worn around the waist, with a cuff placed around the upper arm, allowing healthcare providers to capture fluctuations in blood pressure throughout the day and night.

Stress Test (Treadmill)

A stress test evaluates how your heart responds to physical activity, typically performed by walking on a treadmill. During the test, healthcare professionals monitor your heart's rate, blood pressure, and breathing. If exercise is not possible, medication mimicking the effects of physical activity may be administered. The stress test provides insights into blood flow changes within the heart.

Exercise Stress Echocardiogram

An exercise stress echocardiogram is an ultrasound of your heart taken before and after exercise. It produces moving images that show how well your heart functions under stress. Providers use this test to diagnose or monitor heart conditions and ensure you get the treatment you need.

Echocardiography

An echocardiogram uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart. This test helps visualize blood flow through the heart and heart valves, allowing healthcare providers to detect heart disease and other cardiac conditions. It is commonly used to assess heart health and diagnose potential issues.

CT Scan (CT coronary angiogram)

A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the arteries that supply blood to the heart. A CT coronary angiogram uses a powerful X-ray machine to make images of the heart and its blood vessels. The test is used to diagnose many different heart conditions.
