LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Cape Fear Valley: Nationally Recognized Heart Care
by MIKE NAGOWSKI AND CHRIS AUL
Dear Editor:
Did you know that when a patient is having a heart attack, nearly 85 percent of the damage occurs in
the first two hours?
Many people think they have time to take a wait-and-see attitude. And that can be deadly.
That's why we work so hard to educate people on the subtle danger signs of a heart attack and the
importance of acting immediately by calling 9-1-1.
As a nationally accredited Chest Pain Center, we've put a lot of effort into helping heart attack patients
get the heart- and life-saving treatments they need as quickly as possible.
We have even added special equipment to our ambulances so we can transmit EKG results to
emergency department physicians in real time. This allows the physician to quickly diagnose a heart
attack and alert the cath lab team so they can be ready when the patient arrives.
We have also affiliated with the number 1 ranked Cleveland Clinic for cardiac surgery. Our own openheart surgery program was awarded a "3 star" rating, the highest rating possible, from The Society of
Thoracic Surgeons.
You'll find our cardiovascular surgeons are experienced in the latest techniques, including off-pump
bypass surgery and minimally invasive valve surgery.
Keeping your heart healthy is just as
important to us. Our nationally certified
Cardiac Rehabilitation Program helps patients
reduce their risk factors with a medically
prescribed and supervised exercise and
education program.
No matter whether you arrive at Cape Fear
Valley by ambulance or visit us for a scheduled
outpatient procedure, you'll be putting your
heart in CAPEable hands.
