No other area cardiac team sees more
hearts and saves
more lives. So our Dean
cardiac physicians and St.
Mary's
hospital staff know better than anyone how
important
every minute is during a heart attack. It's
why:
- Our Level
One Heart Attack Program focuses on saving
lives
faster - because for every minute we save, we save
even more
valuable heart muscle.
- Our cardiac physicians, nurses and EMTs
have sychronized
every move to eliminate every excess
minute out of the process.
- The median time it takes us to open
blocked arteries is about
28 minutes once patients arrive
here. That's more than three times
as fast as the
national goal of 90. But we've done it in as few as
12.
