Advanced Heart Care

December 2004 – Initiated Cardiac Alert program to expedite heart attack treatment

Time is muscle in heart attack treatment, meaning every minute matters. The standard of care today is for heart attack patients to start receiving artery-opening treatment within 90 minutes of arriving at a hospital. Every minute less than that improves the chances of survival.

Elmhurst Memorial Hospital consistently exceeds the standard, due in part to a carefully choreographed process known as a Cardiac Alert that saves time at every step.

November 2006 – Began offering Heart Scans, the most accurate way to detect heart problems

A Heart Scan is the most accurate way to detect your heart attack risk – even before you display any symptoms. This quick and painless test reveals the amount of calcium buildup in the arteries, which is an early indicator of heart disease. The greater the amount of calcium present, the greater the likelihood of heart disease.

This simple test can tell you whether or not you have heart disease now – while you still have time to improve your heart health and lower your risk of a potentially fatal heart attack.

Take our online Heart Health Assessment and schedule your Heart Scan today.
