Plus, it's all in one central location - allowing our cardiologists, diagnostics and surgeons to meet under one roof - providing you with the very best of care.
In addition to the services at our main location, satellite locations across the region provice for those patients who would like care close to home. Call or contact us (765) 983-3255 for more information.
Procedures
-
Open-heart Surgery - Patients benefit from not only an experienced surgeon, but an experienced team whose patients are sometimes neighbors and friends. We offer the latest technology, including "endo-vein" harvesting that makes heart surgery less painful and promotes faster healing. Our patients frequently express gratitude for making the program available so they can avoid the stress of transfers to big-city hospitals.
-
Catheterizations - More than 9,600 catheterizations have been performed at Reid in the past decade. We recently added a second cath lab to accommodate the growing need. Reid also provides comprehensive related tests including EKGs, stress testing and more.
-
Angioplasty & Stents - Balloon angioplasty and stenting is sometimes an alternative to open-heart surgery. More than 400 such procedures have been done at Reid in the last two years.
-
Cardiac Ablation - This procedure can resolve the "short circuits" that sometimes cause disturbances in heart rhythms. Our Cardiac Ablation specialist is one of only 300 nationwide.
-
Advanced Heart Failure Tests & Treatments - If you have been diagnosed with heart failure or cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), ask your doctor about the Reid Advanced Heart Failure Center. Call (765) 962-1337, ext. 6435 for an appointment or more information.
Testing
-
Calcium CT Scans (CT Cardiac Scoring) - The heart CT scan is a painless scan that can spot heart disease in its earliest stages. It involves the use of a computed tomography (CT) test that looks for calcium buildup in the lining of the arteries. Reid offers this screening for only $49. It can be scheduled (without a referral) by calling Central Scheduling at (765) 983-3358.
-
Electrophysiologic (EP) Studies - EP studies are for patients with symptoms of heart rhythm disorders.
-
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) & Pacemakers - Implantable cardioverter defibrillators are effective in fighting sudden cardiac arrest.
-
EKGs - A common test done on heart patients that records the heart's activity over time.
-
Stress Tests - This test is performed to evaluate arterial blood flow to the heart muscle during physical exercise versus while at rest.
