Heart care at Crestwood Medical Center focuses on the functions and disorders of the heart and its connected circulatory system. According to the American Heart Association, more than 120 million people in the United States 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 heart care services from helping you create a heart-healthy lifestyle to performing potentially lifesaving procedures in emergency situations.
