Heart Failure is the nation's most rapidly growing cardiovascular condition. It affects an estimated 5 million Americans.
Heart Care in the Stoll Emergency Center
When it comes to heart attacks, it is critical that patients receive early interventions. If you or a loved one is having symptoms of a heart attack, do not wait - call 911. The highly skilled emergency responders in Kane County will provide excellent care even before you reach Provena Mercy's
Stoll Emergency Center.
At the Medical Center, we give top priority to patients with suspected heart attacks. Our emergency experts work quickly to determine a patient's condition, and then take the necessary course of action, which may include:
- cardiac and laboratory diagnostic tests
- the administration of medications including thrombolytic therapy (drugs that dissolve blood clots)
- emergency angioplasty
- cardiac surgery
Our Emergency Center staff works closely with the heart care team to provide efficient and continuous care for our patients to ensure the best outcomes possible. We also provide pastoral care support for family members and friends.
