Cardiac Care
In addition to heart surgery, our Heart & Vascular Center provides non-invasive testing and other emergency heart care treatment. This means things like EKGs, Holter monitoring, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology stress testing, vascular screening, and cardiac catheterization.
The center also offers interventional cardiology procedures—which can include electrophysiology studies, ablation, angioplasty and stenting, as well as the implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators and leadless pacemakers, heart failure device implantation, along with structural heart procedures.

Vascular Surgery Services
Vascular surgery procedures are those addressing arteries, veins and lymphatics. While the vascular surgery field is quite specialized, the types of patients are quite diverse.

Heart Failure Management
When the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands, blood pressure within the heart is elevated and can lead to heart failure. Significant heart failure progression over a period of days is known as acute decompensation and leads to hospitalization.
The CardioMEMS HF System uses a miniaturized, wireless monitoring sensor that is implanted in the pulmonary artery during a minimally-invasive procedure to directly measure PA pressure. The system allows patients to transmit PA pressure data from their homes to their health care providers allowing for personalized and proactive heart failure management to reduce the likelihood of hospitalization.

We offer advanced cardiac care, including 24/7 interventional cardiology and heart surgery, as well as electrophysiology, structural heart program, intensive cardiac rehabilitation, and vascular disease services.
A regional hospital with major metropolitan-like advantages
We are pleased to be among the first hospitals in Indiana to use an all-digital x-ray cardiovascular imaging system. This allows our cardiologists to see your heart more clearly than ever before, and provides for better diagnosis of and treatment for coronary artery disease. We also use PET/CT imaging for the early diagnosis of heart disease. Our team uses a cardiovascular surgery suite that is equipped with the most advanced heart care technology available. Point-of-care testing capabilities allow us to get lab results in the operating room immediately to make critical decisions faster.
The wide range of our interventional capabilities (tools and techniques that allow us to handle almost any type of heart emergency that arises) is also notable.
Even our beds are innovative
After heart surgery, patients are taken to our universal bed cardiovascular unit. This new approach allows you stay in the same room throughout your stay, cared for in the same bed, by the same team.
