Many times cardiac patients also suffer from vascular disease. Which is why Lima Memorial offers both an advanced cardiology and vascular program at The Heart & Vascular Institute.
The vascular program at LMHS combines the strengths of vascular surgery, cardiology and interventional radiology to ensure specialized diagnostics and treatment to the patient through a simple referral system.
The Heart & Vascular Institute offers a comprehensive array of vascular treatments – ranging from helping make lifestyle and medication changes to minimally invasive procedures, to complex surgeries.
The Connection
Vascular issues are directly related to your heart health
- If you have peripheral arterial disease (PAD), you are four to five times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke
- Vericose veins are actually a sign of increased pressure within weakened veins carrying blood to the heart from the legs
