Cardiac Services
Cardiac Consultation Service
|
Specialists meet to discuss
a patient's progress.
|
Your primary care physician may recommend outpatient or inpatient consultation with a board-certified cardiologist. We are available seven days a week for consultation and will provide a recommendation to you and your doctor the same day. We look at all general cardiology issues and can arrange subspecialty consultation if necessary for coronary care, heart rhythm disorders, surgery, congenital heart disease and early intervention to prevent future cardiac disease.
The consulting cardiologist will:
- Provide an initial evaluation
- Arrange and expedite necessary testing
- Guide and facilitate follow-up treatment
- Arrange transfer to a specialized cardiac
inpatient unit if necessary
- Arrange outpatient follow-up after discharge
Dedicated staff is available through the cardiac care and intermediate cardiac care units 24 hours a day for consultation. Your primary care physician or your attending physician can refer you for this service.
