Caring for Your Heart
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death and disability in the United States. Almost 1 million people die from it each year. It causes almost twice as many deaths as cancer. Yet, deaths from cardiovascular disease are declining. This has led to the huge increases in life expectancy since the 1940s.
In large part, more people are surviving cardiovascular disease because of the new technology and treatment available at St. James Healthcare. We are committed to helping you have a healthy heart and offer our patients access to:
- Cardiac Catheterization Lab - staffed by experienced interventional cardiologists and medical professionals who provide treatment to patients with heart disorders.
- Non-Invasive Cardiac Diagnostics - designed to gather the sophisticated data necessary to develop a highly accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, including nuclear medicine and cardiac ultrasound.
- Heart (Cardiac) Rehabilitation Center -- staffed by experienced RNs who are dedicated to improving the health of your heart.
