Important: Don’t delay! Call 911 right away if you believe you are having a heart attack or if you believe someone close by is showing symptoms of a heart attack. A call to 911 means the person with symptoms will be taken to a hospital for immediate treatment.
Lancaster County has a choice for cardiovascular care.
Chest pain sounds a warning for a range of heart- and circulatory-related diseases and conditions. Prompt diagnosis is important. It reduces the time between experiencing symptoms and getting treatment. At Lancaster Regional Medical Center, the chest pain management team of our cardiac care service seamlessly integrates diagnostic testing, therapeutic interventions, and appropriate rehabilitation therapy to get you back to your normal routine.
Some of our patients are referred to our cardiac care service by a family physician, internist, or cardiologist. Some patients are admitted through the emergency room. How ever you come to the medical center, be assured the cardiac care team of emergency medicine physicians, registered invasive cardiovascular professionals, cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, critical care nurses, and cardiopulmonary therapists will work together to give you the best possible care.
The cardiac care service provides care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is worth repeating: when a cardiac emergency happens, quick diagnosis and proper science-based treatments are crucial. Our patients talk about the kind, capable care they receive from the region’s best team of physicians, nurses and cardiovascular professionals.
The choice is yours. Should your doctor recommend testing for heart disease, ask for a referral to Lancaster Regional Medical Center’s cardiac care service.
