Cardiac Care
If you or a loved one suffers from heart disease, the care team at Marian Regional’s Heart Center is uniquely positioned to help keep your heart beating strong.
Comprehensive Heart Care
Our heart center is staffed by a team of heart care specialists including cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, cardiologists, skilled nurses, and other specially trained healthcare professionals who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of heart disease.
The Marian Heart Center is ranked in the top 10 percent nationally, making us uniquely qualified to treat your heart.
- A state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab and cardiac surgical suite.
- A STEMI Receiving Center designation from Santa Barbara County's Emergency Medical Services Agency to treat ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) heart attacks.
Our heart care team understands the constantly changing treatment options for your heart. In fact, sometimes interventional treatments and surgeries overlap. We call these hybrid procedures. At Marian, we embrace these procedures when it comes to providing the best care for your heart.
We also offer angioplasty and stent procedures and other minimally invasive techniques. When intervention is required, rest assured that your heart is in good hands at Marian Regional Medical Center’s Heart Center.
New Catheterization Lab
Marian will renovate nearly 1,000 square feet on the second floor of the Medical Center and create a new, state-of-the-art Catheterization Lab. Expected for completion in 2015, the new Catheterization Lab will enable the Marian Heart Center to meet the need for cardiac care into the future.
Cardiac Interventional Hybrid Suite
Today's surgical landscape continues to rapidly evolve as breakthroughs in science and technology are accelerating at an overwhelming speed. At present, interventional treatments and surgeries often overlap and are referred to as "hybrid" procedures. The Marian Heart Center's cardiac interventional hybrid suite will embrace the latest multidisciplinary model of care, using leading-edge techniques. In addition, it will allow for multiple procedures without the transfer of a patient to a second procedure room.
Here is a video of a patient testimonial of the capabilities of the Marian Heart Center.
