Heart & Vascular
The 2010 U.S. News & World Report ranked Beaumont, Royal Oak as one of "America's Best Hospitals" for Heart and Heart Surgery. Read more about Beaumont's rankings here.
We've all known someone affected by heart disease, which is proof of the statistic that it's the number one cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women. Stroke and other vascular diseases are closely related to heart disease, often caused by the same risk factors.
Throughout its facilities Beaumont can respond to the need for comprehensive heart and vascular care. Beaumont offers:
- Experts in the Emergency Center at each campus that act quickly and effectively to treat a heart attack or stroke. Cardiologists, vascular disease specialists and surgeons use the latest technology and innovative procedures to diagnose disease and treat it, often without major surgery.
- A series of seven non-invasive tests, including state-of-the-art ultrasounds of your major arteries, to find out your risk for a heart attack or stroke - all for only $70.
- Compassionate, personal attention is a top priority - from our excellent inpatient nursing care to our well-established cardiac and stroke rehabilitation programs.
It's no wonder that for the past five years, U.S.News & World Report has named Beaumont one of the top hospitals in America and the best in Michigan for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
But the hospital's expertise goes back for decades, with dozens of "firsts" in advances pioneered by our medical teams.
The hospital vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and interventional cardiologists have pioneered endovascular treatments for such conditions as:
-
Peripheral artery disease
-
Carotid artery disease
-
Aortic aneurysms
-
Blood vessel disease
For example, Beaumont was one of the first hospitals in Michigan to embrace minimally invasive endovascular stent-graft therapy for abdominal aortic aneurysms and participated in several of the earliest clinical trials for stent-graft therapy for chest aneurysms.
Most cardiovascular care takes place at The Beaumont Heart Center, one of the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art cardiac care facilities in the world. The size of the average American hospital, the Beaumont Heart Center is dedicated exclusively to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart problems.
Because almost one out of every two women will die of heart disease, the Ministrelli Women's Heart Center was established as the first center in Michigan dedicated to the detection, prevention and treatment of heart disease in women.
Electrophysiologists, cardiologists with special training and certification in heart rhythm disorders, use the most up-to-date technology and therapies to manage and treat patients with these conditions at our Atrial Fibrillation Center.
Beaumont is the only hospital in Oakland and Macomb counties that can provide comprehensive interventional care for stroke patients any time day or night. It is a nationally certified primary stroke care center with specialized inpatient care for patients with neurological conditions.
With outcomes that are among the best in the country, Beaumont is a world-renowned heart and vascular center right here in your community.
