The heart and vascular team provides time critical care for STEMI heart attacks along with cardiology and vascular services for St. Louis and the surrounding region.
A STEMI is the most serious type of heart attack. As a Level I Time Critical Diagnosis STEMI center, the hospital is organized to open a blocked artery as quickly as possible, 24 hours a day.
Beyond emergency heart care, patients have access to cardiology and vascular specialists supported by the physicians and residency programs of the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
