Technology at Central Baptist's Heart and Vascular Institute
Coronary care technology changes rapidly and constantly. Less-invasive procedures, more accurate tests and groundbreaking medicines appear on the horizon almost daily. We're dedicated to putting these lifesaving tools in our physicians' hands. That's why the Baptist Heart & Vascular Institute houses the very latest diagnostic, surgical and laboratory facilities.
Our expanded facilities also include:
- 6 open heart surgery suites
- 8 digital cardiac cath labs and electrophysiology labs
- 29 private postcath observation rooms
- A dedicated open heart ICU
- An open heart telemetry unit with all private rooms
- A noninvasive cardiac diagnostic center
- A progressive cardiac rehabilitation center
- 64-Slice CT
Because each element of the cardiac program is centralized here, we can respond faster and more efficiently than ever. It's truly a facility of the future. And as medical technology continues to grow and improve, the Baptist Heart & Vascular Institute will continue to be among its leaders.
