Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. As we age, heredity and lifestyle factors can cause plaque to build up in the lining of our hearts' arteries, leading to recurring chest pain (angina), congestive heart failure or heart attack.
When you have heart trouble, you want to get the best possible care from people you trust. At Providence St. Peter Hospital's Regional Heart Program, we've been taking care of hearts, right here in the South Sound, for more than 100 years.
Each year, our heart surgeons perform more than 500 open heart surgeries. Our cardiologists perform more than 2,700 cardiology procedures including diagnostic catheterization, angioplasty, stent implantation and a wide range of other leading-edge procedures.
And once you are on the road to recovery, our cardiac rehabilitation program—one of the largest on the West Coast—can help you rebuild your life and stay on the right track.
