When every second counts, our dedicated cardiac emergency team is ready to respond. Immediate care for chest pain, heart attacks, arrhythmias, and all acute cardiac events – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Don't ignore these symptoms. If you or someone near you experiences any of the following, call immediately.
Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
Difficulty breathing or feeling winded at rest or with minimal exertion, often accompanied by chest discomfort.
A sudden racing heart, fluttering sensation, or feeling that your heart is skipping beats, especially with dizziness or fainting.
Lightheadedness, loss of balance, slurred speech, or a feeling of impending doom – these can signal a heart attack or stroke.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or vomiting without a clear cause can be a cardiac red flag, especially in women.
Discomfort radiating to one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach can be a heart attack sign, even without chest pain.
From the moment you call, our team activates a coordinated, life‑saving protocol.
A dedicated line answered by cardiac nurses who can advise you immediately and dispatch help if needed.
We work directly with EMS to ensure you're transported to the nearest cardiac‑ready facility without delay.
Our cardiologists are on standby at partner hospitals to receive you immediately, saving critical minutes.
Follow these steps — they can save a life.
Don't drive yourself to the hospital. Paramedics can start treatment en route and alert the ER team.
Sit or lie down. Loosen tight clothing. Try to stay as still and relaxed as possible while waiting for help.
If you have been prescribed nitroglycerin for angina, take it as directed. Do not take anyone else's medication.
If the person is not breathing and has no pulse, begin hands‑only CPR: push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.
If you're an existing patient, call +1 (800) CARDIO after you've called 911. We'll alert the on‑call cardiologist and prepare for your arrival.
“Time is heart muscle. In a cardiac emergency, minutes can mean the difference between a full recovery and permanent damage. Our team trains for this every day. When you call, you're not alone — you're connected to a network of specialists ready to act.”
