Heart Care
As an Accredited Chest Pain Center, our protocol-driven approach to heart care allows us to reduce time-to-treatment during the critical first stages of an heart attack.
Heart care at Merit Health Natchez 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.
Taking good care of your heart can help reduce your risk of developing heart disease that leads to a heart attack, stroke or other serious complications. Cardiac care teams provide a range of heart care services - from helping you create a heart-healthy lifestyle to performing potentially lifesaving procedures in emergency situations.
One of the ways you can help prevent heart disease is by knowing your risk factors. Take the American Heart Association's Heart Risk Assessment to learn if you could be at risk and discuss the results with your doctor.
At Merit Health Natchez, we offer heart care delivered by knowledgeable, experienced cardiac professionals, including:
