Cardiology Services
Cardiologists are responsible for evaluating the condition of your heart
and cardiovascular system as a whole. Their diagnosis provides a clear
picture of what type of treatment a patient will need, whether that’s
direct intervention, surgery, drug therapy, or lifestyle changes. Cardiologists
may only see a patient once, or they may take leadership over a patient’s
continuing treatment.
If a patient requires immediate intervention—such as when a patient
has a blockage keeping blood from vital areas—cardiologists will
act quickly to ensure patients are kept safe and healthy. These can include
implanting stents, angioplasty, or minimally-invasive procedures that
do not require open chest surgery. These procedures are all performed in the
catheterization lab (or “cath lab”).
Providing the Immediate Care
Due to the nature of heart issues, fast intervention is crucial to survival
and short-term health. At Winchester Medical Center, we are proud to say
that our efforts to eliminate long waits in our catheterization labs have
resulted in shorter response times and better patient outcomes, particularly
for heart attack victims.
