Cardiovascular rescue and recovery program

We offer the highest quality of care for patients with coronary artery disease, myocardial disease, cardiogenic shock, as well as patients who require conventional or complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). We use a multidisciplinary team approach to deliver a variety of procedures.

Our expertise

Patients with severe and complicated cardiac issues often require multiple teams of experts to work together to support their recovery. Our dedicated team assesses all patients and referrals, including those seeking second opinions, with a goal of delivering personalized and focused treatment plans.

Shared care philosophy

Our Cardiovascular Rescue and Recovery clinical team operates under a “shared care” approach in close communication and collaboration with the patient’s referring physicians. Our interventional, heart failure and critical care cardiologists work closely with the patient’s family and a network of physicians to execute seamless and coordinated care, from the first consultation all the way through follow up care tailored to each patient’s individualized needs.

Research and innovation

Our team has an established track record of success, expertise and dedication to clinical research in cardiovascular rescue and recovery diagnosis and treatments. Collaboration with an extensive network of world-renowned clinical research innovators allows our team to participate in cutting edge, clinical research trials, as well as access treatment options for our patients that are not widely available.
