Regional Heart Center
When your patients need cardiac care, a referral to the Regional Heart Center provides them with the physicians, technology and experience for the best outcomes. Data from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that Lehigh Valley Hospital has the lowest 30-day heart attack mortality rate in the country. Read about it in the Aug. 20, 2008 edition of USA TODAY. We are the third largest heart program in Pennsylvania and one of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” for heart care and heart surgery. We perform thousands of surgeries, cardiac catheterizations, angioplasties and electrophysiological procedures every year. Our MI Alert for Heart Attacks program consistently opens patients’ blocked arteries in less than 90 minutes. For serious hear failure cases, we offer inpatient and outpatient care, device trials and research.
