For those who are trying to prevent, treat or recover from a heart or vascular condition, Mount Carmel has an amazing array of cardiovascular services to ensure that our patients have every opportunity to maintain and improve heart and vascular health.
With remarkable expertise, facilities and technologies, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic, interventional and surgical capabilities; an experienced team of board-certified cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons; and a number of disease management and rehabilitation programs to help patients stay heart healthy.
- Mount Carmel treats over 9,000 patients each year for chest pain and performs more than 2,400 percutaneous interventions annually.
- We rank in the top 10 percent nationally in the critical “door-to-balloon” statistic, which rates how quickly patients who need it receive an interventional procedure.
- The system has a 94 percent success rate when it comes to cardiac angioplasties. That means that six percent or fewer of cardiac patients have heart attacks, require emergent open-heart surgery or die as a result of cardiac interventions at Mount Carmel.
- Mount Carmel's dedicated heart-care facilities include state-of-the art ICUs, non-invasive diagnostic facilities, cath labs and peripheral labs. The Mount Carmel East Heart Center features stent-capable cath labs, an electrophysiology lab, a cardiovascular neuro services center, an eight-bed post-surgery ICU, an 18-bed coronary care unit and a 30-bed step-down unit.
- In addition to established surgical techniques, our physicians perform a number of progressive techniques like endoscopic vein harvesting, concominant atrial fibrillation ablation and beating heart surgery. In fact, our beating heart program has one of the highest volumes in the state of Ohio.
