Heart and Vascular Hospital at UMass Memorial
|
The Heart and Vascular Hospital provides integrated, patient-centered heart and vascular care by utilizing the latest research and technology available in cardiovascular medicine and surgery. The integration of cardiologists, cardiac and vascular surgeons, sophisticated technology, and the latest advances in medicine, ensure we provide patients with a complete continuum of care. Dedicating units to care for heart and vascular patients helps UMass Memorial deliver its expertise in a coordinated and patient-focused manner. The end result is better patient outcomes.
The Heart and Vascular Hospital features a 16-bed ICU with eICU capability. When well enough to transition from the ICU, patients move to a new step-down unit, where the care team has special training in heart- and vascular-related problems. Adjacent to these units, a cardiac diagnostic testing area minimizes the transporting of patients and encourages family involvement in the recovery process in a comfortable setting.
General and preventive heart and vascular services are provided in the Cardiovascular Ambulatory Center. The Heart and Vascular Hospital also features the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory where we perform more than 8,000 procedures each year. The Lab offers the full spectrum of diagnostic and interventional procedures including balloons and stents for coronary artery disease. We also have the busiest and most comprehensive Electrophysiology Labs in Central Massachusetts to provide a variety of cutting-edge treatments for patients with arrhythmia.
