Four times the surgical expertise
For better patient outcomes, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology recommend that a facility meet or exceed a minimum volume of 200 cardiac procedures per year. Memorial performs more than 800. That’s four times the national minimum. And we perform twice as many open heart procedures as any other area hospital.
Advanced Diagnosis and Interventions
Memorial and Memorial North Park hospitals each provide imaging services that include echocardiography, stress echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. Memorial Hospital has five cardiac catheterization laboratories, two electrophysiology laboratories and one tilt room for specialized cardiac testing.
Top-Rated in Cardiac Care
Memorial is rated one of the top three hospitals in Tennessee for cardiac and vascular care. We have also been named a Top 100 Heart Hospital four times by Thomson Reuters. Memorial has excelled in ratings in the HealthCare 21 Business Coalition's Consumer Guide and its ICUs have received the highest rating possible.
Accredited Emergency Care
Emergency Centers at Memorial and Memorial North Park hospitals are each Accredited Chest Pain Centers. When a heart attack patient arrives, our Chest Pain Protocol is put into action to open their clogged arteries in the shortest “door to balloon” time possible. And Memorial consistently beats the 90-minute door-to-balloon standard, set by the American College of Cardiology, by a life-saving 21 minutes. Emergency personnel are trained to think “cardiac” and have the most advanced technologies available for diagnosis and treatment. Patients with severe chest pain should call 911 immediately.
