Immediate Intervention Protocols

In the critical moments of a cardiac emergency, every second counts. Our healthcare teams are trained to implement immediate intervention protocols, including CPR, defibrillation, and other essential procedures to stabilize and treat cardiac patients.

Echocardiogram

If your heart has been beating too fast, or you have been having chest pain, both you and your doctor will want to find out what is causing the problem so you can get it treated. One way we can diagnose heart problems is with a test of the heart's electrical activity, called an Echocardiogram (ECG). An Echocardiogram is often the first test done to determine whether a person has heart disease. Your provider may order this test if are having chest pain, heart palpitations, or have a history of heart disease. 

24/7 Cardiac Monitoring

Our inpatient hospital unit is staffed by Hospitalists who collaborate closely with Cardiologists to provide comprehensive cardiac care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. With 24-hour cardiac monitoring on our inpatient units, our providers ensure that heart irregularities are detected immediately, allowing for prompt intervention and potentially life-saving measures.
