At Saint Agnes Medical Center, heart care isn’t just a service line — it’s a promise to our community. Our heart and vascular team combines advanced technology, experienced specialists, and compassionate care to support patients at every stage of their heart health journey. From early screenings to complex procedures, we’re committed to delivering high-quality heart care close to home.

Our cardiothoracic and cardiovascular teams offer a comprehensive range of services designed to diagnose, treat, and manage heart conditions with a personalized approach. By keeping advanced care local, we help reduce stress for patients and families while providing the same leading-edge treatments found at larger metropolitan centers.

What everyone should know about heart disease

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, yet many people don’t realize how early risk factors can begin. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes often develop silently, without obvious symptoms. That’s why regular checkups, early screenings and understanding your personal risk are so important, no matter your age or family history.

Making heart health a priority early can help prevent more serious complications down the road and lead to better long-term outcomes.

“Knowing your numbers is one of the most important steps you can take for your heart,” says Glyniss D’Mello, Director of Telemetry and Cardiovascular Services at Saint Agnes. “Being proactive — even in your 20s or 30s — can help prevent serious heart problems later on.”

Throughout the month, Saint Agnes proudly partners with the American Heart Association to raise awareness, encourage heart-healthy habits, and spark meaningful conversations about cardiovascular health.

Advanced cardiac care, close to home

Saint Agnes continues to invest in advanced cardiac technology and minimally invasive procedures that improve outcomes and reduce recovery time. From innovative pacemaker options to transcatheter valve repair for patients with valvular disease, our team offers advanced solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

We treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and structural heart concerns, while emphasizing prevention through routine screenings and ongoing care.
