The Brooklyn Heart Center at �鶹���� has grown to provide a broad range of comprehensive cardiac services. For nearly one million residents, �鶹���� is a lifesaver and its services include:

Emergency Heart Care
Having a hospital close by that offers heart-attack services allows patients in cardiac emergencies to get fast care without traveling far. With heart emergencies, time saved equals lives saved. Recent statistics show that �鶹���� patients save even more time because our “door-to-balloon” performance is speedy. According to the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, the recommended time from a first medical contact to cardiac intervention such as a balloon stent is 90 minutes or less. �鶹���� consistently does much better than that, regularly besting the New York State percentages. Under a collaborative partnership with Mount Sinai Heart, �鶹���� has a cardiac catheterization lab that offers:

• Emergency percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)
• Diagnostic catheterizations
• Diagnostic angiography, peripheral angiography and implantable loop recorder services
• EP lab for ablations for arrhythmia and device implantations

Outpatient Cardiology
�鶹���� has long provided outpatient cardiology care at several locations, as well as diagnostic tests at the main hospital, including:

• Echocardiography
• Treadmill stress test
• Nuclear stress test
• Cardioversion

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Clinic
This service follows CHF patients who require consistent monitoring of their care.

Cardiac Telemetry (8B)
A 34-bed telemetry inpatient unit with dedicated cardiology nurses provides an important monitored environment for those cardiac patients requiring hospitalization.
