Heart Care
Heart care at Lake Granbury Medical Center focuses on the functions and disorders of the heart and its connected circulatory system. According to the American Heart Association, 84 million people in the U.S. suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, affecting blood flow throughout the body. Cardiovascular disease can lead to heart attacks, strokes or other serious complications.
The skilled cardiac care team is on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and focuses on the rapid identification, diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks. Our rapid response to open the blocked coronary artery using either a balloon or stent can mean the difference between permanent heart muscle damage and complete recovery.
