Emergent, preventative and diagnostic services, cardiopulmonary service department, cardiac catheterization lab, critical care unit and cardiac rehab
As an accredited chest pain center (by the Society of Chest Pain Centers) and primary stroke center (by the Joint Commission), WRHS offers an advanced cardiovascular program that provides a full continuum of cardiac care, eliminating the need to travel great distances for high-quality cardiac care.
The medical staff includes board-certified emergency department physicians, board-certified cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, a cardiac electrophysiologist as well as respiratory therapists, exercise physiologists and cardiac nurses, all trained in using the latest treatment strategies.
SERVICES/PROCEDURES
WRHS offers noninvasive calcium screenings, consultations, diagnostic stress testing, interventional cardiology, stress echocardiograms, electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology, EKG, therapeutic hypothermia, hypertension treatment, coronary stent and Pacemaker implementation.
CARDIOPULMONARY SERVICE DEPARTMENT
The cardiopulmonary service department provides inpatient and outpatient diagnostic testing for those with heart and lung disorders.
CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LAB
Cardiologists and radiologists perform diagnostic catheterization/angiography of the heart arteries in the only cardiac cath lab of its kind in the county. These specialized studies of the heart help physicians determine how to handle the repair of coronary blockages, which methods to use, and the need for more aggressive intervention, such as bypass surgery.
The Cardiac Catheterization Lab at WRHS also offers catheterization procedures via the radial artery, an approach that increases patient comfort and decreases the risk of complications.
CRITICAL CARE UNIT
The critical care unit at WRHS provides individualized, continuing specialized care to patients who’ve had a heart attack or major cardiac surgery with the most up-to-date monitoring and testing equipment. Care is one-to-one, nurse to patient ratio, the first 24 hours of a patient’s stay in CCU after bypass surgery.
CARDIOPULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM
WRHS offers a cardiopulmonary rehab program for those who have been diagnosed with heart disease, have recently had heart surgery (stent, bypass, open heart) or have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma or symptomatic lung disease.
Nurses, exercise physiologists and respiratory therapists organize scheduled exercise and education sessions on how the heart and lung function, ways to decrease stress levels and how to choose healthy diets.
Classes are Monday, Wednesday and Friday at several times throughout the day. Each class lasts approximately one-and-a-half hours, and the program is generally 12 weeks. However, the duration of the program, and class times, are flexible.
