Diseases and Conditions

We understand that coping with these types of conditions can sometimes be overwhelming.  If you have questions and concerns, we have answers.

Question:  I have an irregular heartbeat and always feel exhausted.  I've tried medication, but are there other solutions?

Question:  When I exercise, I often get a heavy, sometimes painful feeling in my chest.  Does this mean I could be headed for a heart attack? 

Question:  Why should I turn to Timpanogos Regional Hospital for heart care?

The Faster.  The Better.

When it comes to cardiac care, particularly during a heart attack, time and expertise matter. 

  • Average door-to-balloon time is 55 minutes, well below the national standard of 90 minutes.  This refers to the elapsed time from when a heart attack patient hits the door of the ER to when the catheter guide wire is inserted in the cath lab. The faster a heart attack patient receives care, the better the outcomes for the patient. 
  • Emergency pre-hospital 12-lead EKG allows first responders to transmit patient's heart activity while in transit to Timpanogos Regional.  The ER staff is better equipped with a treatment plan ready and a medical team assembled before the patient even arrives.
