Penn Cardiac Care at Pennsylvania
Hospital
Your heart - a muscular organ about the size
of your fist - will beat 2.5 billion times in
an average lifetime. That's about once a second,
for every minute of your life. Penn Cardiac Care
at Pennsylvania Hospital, part of the University
of Pennsylvania Health System, can provide you
with the care you need to maintain a healthy heart.
When you come to Penn Cardiac Care at Pennsylvania
Hospital, you benefit from state-of-the-art treatment
from a multidisciplinary group including cardiologists,
cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and
specially trained nurses who are leaders in caring
for patients with cardiovascular diseases, ranging
from the most common to the most complex.
Our patients receive continuity of care not
always found elsewhere. We pride ourselves on
providing our patients with longitudinal care
- from their first appointment to their last,
they are seen by the same physician, an approach
which ensures effective communication and mutual
understanding and helps build a solid foundation
for personal support. Our physicians perform
both the studies and the follow-up visits, allowing
patients to form a long-term relationship with
a single provider.
In May 2004, Penn Cardiac
Care at Pennsylvania Hospital was ranked among
the top ten hospitals in the nation for cardiac
care and cardiovascular surgeries by AARP Modern
Maturity's survey
of the 50 best hospitals in the United States.
Penn Cardiac Care offers drug-eluting
stents, the latest technology available to
reduce blockages in arteries.
