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. … Continue reading →

A Cardiologist is a physician who specializes in the field of cardiology, a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the heart and blood vessels. As a physician, a cardiologist must train as a doctor before taking advanced training to become a cardiologist. The field of cardiology is divided into fields consisting of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electro-physiology. Advanced training is necessary to train doctors in a particular field of cardiology. Cardiologists attend four years of medical school before going on for six to eight more years of training to specialize in cardiology. A general cardiologist first spends three years training in internal medicine, followed by three or more years in specialized cardiology training. A pediatric cardiologist must spend the first years of training in pediatrics, followed by three or more years training in cardiology. A cardiac surgeon must spend at least five years training in general surgery before starting a cardio-thoratic program. During training, cardiologists are trained to treat heart attacks, heart failure, heart disease, and serious heart rhythm disturbances. Training also prepares cardiologists to make decisions about heart catheterization, balloon angioplasty, heart surgery, and other procedures. During training, specialists … Continue reading →
