Tradition of Innovation

With many recognitions including national designations, St. Vincent's cardiac program has a proud tradition of outstanding clinical results and a history of innovation, dating back to its introduction of emergency angioplasty to the area back in 1995. This emergency angioplasty, knows as primary angioplasty for myocardial infarction, or PAMI, subsequently became the standard of care across the nation. How is this relevant to you and your loved ones? It means cutting-edge care close to home.

St. Vincent's specialists perform the most advanced procedures typically only found within major academic facilities, while ensuring that each patient receives the individualized care available only in a community-based setting. The result is cutting-edge medicine in a comfortable and healing environment.

Many firsts have been recorded in the development of St. Vincent's cardiac care, and currently, we are again on the cutting-edge with our comprehensive atrial fibrillation program, as the only hospital in the tri-state area to have both the "5-box TT Maze" (one of the most effective minimally invasive surgeries to correct Atrial-fibrillation, also called A-fib) and non-surgical treatment modalities for this condition.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of American men and women, and our most serious health risk. But more than ever before, the many advances in technologies and procedures give specialists excellent tools for correcting heart problems.
