Bringing Technology to You When You Need It the Most

Saint Vincent Heart and Vascular Center is pioneering the use of advanced technology to provide patients with less invasive procedures that result in less risk of infection and quicker recovery times.  Our cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and cardiothoracic surgeons were the first to bring a number of innovations to our region. 

                                     

Saint Vincent is now offering procedures designed to catch a heart attack before it happens and to bring ciruclation bag to limbs where damage was deemed, irreversible. Read below to see what Saint Vincent Heart and Vascular Center can do for you, and if you experience heart disease, an irregular heartbeat, or chronic leg pain and circulation problems, call today.

Now Offering Vascular Screenings

Preventing a heart attack or stroke starts with you. When it comes to vascular disease, often times diet and exercise simply aren’t enough. In an effort to provide early intervention for those who may have heart disease or stroke risk factors, we’re bringing our Vascular Screening Program to you. If you’re over age 50, have a family history of vascular disease, suffer from obesity, have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, or if you smoke, you could be at risk.   Each non-invasive vascular screening takes approximately 40 minutes and includes a carotid artery screening, an abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and an ankle brachial index - all for only $75. It’s a quick, affordable way to know your risk. And quite possibly save your life. Call 814-452-5658 to schedule your appointment now.

If you experience chronic leg pain, have issues regarding circulation including vericose veins, ulcers or blood pools under your skin, meet with one of our cardiologists to diagnose and treat your venous conditions before they become life threatening.
