Experience ... Working for You

Please, if you are experiencing chest pain, or feel you might be having a heart attack, dial: 9-1-1

Relax. That's what you can do when you choose Cardiac and Vascular Services at Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center (EGSMC).

That's because this is where you'll find an unparalleled combination of experience and passion for excellence in non-surgical cardiac and vascular services.

And don't just take our word for it. Just one year after it began, the department became among the first in the state to earn chest pain center accreditation.   

What does that mean to you? That our hospital is safe, as measured not only by us, but by an outside expert and national safety organization.

We created our Cardiac and Vascular Services to insure comprehensive and cutting edge  technology in caring for and treating cardiac and vascular disease. And that's exactly what we do day in and day out with the most advanced services available anywhere. 

Cardiac and Vascular Services ... where lives are touched and hearts are saved.

And where you can relax.

Healthwise Catholic KnowledgebaseAortic Valve Regurgitation 01/24/2008
 Aortic valve regurgitation develops when the aortic valve does not function correctly. To understand this condition, it's helpful to know how the aortic valve normally functions. The aortic valve works like a one-way gate, opening so that blood from the left ventricle (the heart's main pump) can be pushed into the aorta , the large artery leaving the heart. From the aorta, oxygen-rich blood flows into the branching arteries and through the body to feed the cells.
Healthwise Catholic KnowledgebaseAtrial Fibrillation 12/18/2008
 Atrial fibrillation (say “A-tree-uhl fih-bruh-LAY-shun”) is an irregular heart rhythm ( arrhythmia ) that starts in the upper parts (atria) of the heart. Normally, the heart beats in a strong, steady rhythm. In atrial fibrillation, a problem with the heart’s electrical system causes the atria to quiver, or fibrillate. The quivering upsets the normal rhythm between the atria and the lower parts (ventricles) of the heart. The lower parts may beat fast and without a regular rhythm.

 To stay as healthy as possible, it is important to: See your doctor for regular follow-up appointments. This lets your doctor keep track of your risk factors and adjust your treatment as needed. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Do not stop or change medicines without talking to your doctor. Keep nitroglycerin with you at all times, if your doctor prescribed it for chest pain. Tell your doctor about any chest pain you have had, even if it went away.
