Why Choose AVMC for Cardiac Services?

Our certifications and capabilities reflect the specialized expertise required to treat heart conditions effectively. Here's what sets our cardiac care apart:

STEMI Receiving Center Certification

AVMC is certified by Los Angeles County as a ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Receiving Center. This means our hospital staff has the training, equipment, and processes in place to immediately treat patients experiencing an acute heart attack. This certification requires having an Emergency Department, a cardiac catheterization lab, cardiologists on staff, and a cardiovascular surgeon and medical team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Earlier diagnosis and treatment lead to better outcomes.

Accredited Chest Pain Center

Accredited by the American College of Cardiology, our Chest Pain Center uses a systematic approach to diagnose and treat cardiac patients, reducing treatment time in the critical early stages of a heart attack. Using standardized diagnostic and treatment programs, we provide efficient evaluations and appropriate, rapid treatment of patients with chest pain and other heart attack symptoms. This ensures patients receive the right care at the right time.
