Cardiac Services

  • Overview
  • Health Content
Know the Symptoms!

More than a million Americans suffer a heart attack each year, and another 600,000 experience a stroke. The key to survival is recognizing the symptoms and getting fast treatment at a hospital. Early detection and immediate treatment may prevent further injury to the heart or the brain. Drugs such as tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), or other thrombolytic agents, must be administered within a very short window of time after the onset of symptoms.

Know the symptoms of heart attack and stroke, and seek care immediately if you, or someone you are with, experiences them.

Heart attack warning signs can include:

  • Pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in chest
  • Pain or numbness in one or both arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach
  • Shortness of breath
  • A cold sweat
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Lightheadedness

Warning signs of stroke, also known as brain attack, may include:

  • Sudden numbness
  • Weakness
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness
  • Severe headache

Cardiac Services

More than 58 million Americans have one or more types of cardiovascular disease and many more are at risk for developing it. More than a million suffer a heart attack each year. Another 300,000 will suffer cardiac arrest. Other diseases – including strokes and peripheral vascular disease – impact thousands each year. The common enemy? Clogged blood vessels.

Vascular disease is always a serious medical condition. But when it impacts the heart or the brain, it can be, and often is, life-threatening.

That’s why TriStar Horizon provides a full range of services to help people prevent, treat and recover from heart disease and stroke. From screenings to diagnostic cardiac catheterization, from angioplasty to rehabilitation, TriStar Horizon’s services have earned a reputation for excellence.

Components of TriStar Horizon Heart Care

Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory – Procedures performed in this lab include angioplasties, heart catheterizations, stent placements and pacemaker implants.

Chest Pain Center – Seconds count when there’s a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies, including chest pain, heart failure, arrhythmias and heart attacks, require quick treatment. To make sure every second counts, TriStar Horizon earned national certification for its Chest Pain Center, located in the Emergency Department.

Inpatient Critical Care – Our critical care unit is staffed by highly qualified and experienced staff. Every patient room is wired for telemetry so any patient can benefit from 24-hour cardiac monitoring, if needed.

Surgery – From vascular surgery to carotid artery stenting, TriStar Horizon’s Surgical Suites and Special Procedures Room are available around the clock.

For more information on classes and screenings, call TriStar MedLine® at 615-342-1919 or 800-242-5662.
