Heart & Vascular
Experiencing a heart event or discovering you have a heart or vascular condition can be both frightening and life-affirming. To recover and make changes for a heart-healthy future takes courage, stamina and willpower, along with the latest advances in medical care. Valley Medical Center’s team of highly trained cardiologists and vascular surgeons provides 24-hour hospital emergency coverage at the highest level of patient care. Our comprehensive cardiovascular program offers a full range of diagnostic and interventional services.
VMC is the recipient of The Joint Commission’s coveted Gold Seal of Approval™ for Stroke care, and Get with the GuidelinesSM Stroke (GWTG-Stroke) Silver Performance Achievement Award. Our cardiac catheterization door-to-balloon time, or the time it takes for a patient to arrive at our Emergency department door until a life-saving angioplasty is performed—is 22 percent faster than the national industry standard of 90 minutes or less.
