http://www.nucleusinc.com This 3D heart animation shows a coronary angiography (cardiac catheterization) procedure. It begins by showing the buildup of plaque in an artery wall of the heart, slowing the flow of blood and shows the heart valves pumping. Afterwards, the patient lies on a testing table while contrast dye is injected into the arteries of the heart, showing the location of the blockage. ANCE00182

Valley Medical Center | Heart & Vascular Services | Vance’s Story

Nemanich, MD, medics, patient, Renton, saving lives, Seattle, surgery, The Emergency Department, Valley Med, Valley Medical Center, Valleymed, Vance, Vascular, VMC, Washington — admin @ 1:13 am

This is a video featuring Vance along with The Emergency Department and Cardiac Care Team at Valley Medical Center.

“I thought it was heartburn,” says Vance, 53, of the chest pain he experienced one afternoon. But within minutes Vance knew—he was having a heart attack.

Fortunately, medics brought Vance to Valley Medical Center (VMC). Our hotline to medics combined with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and a dedicated cardiac team means Valley Medical Center is poised to act the instant a patient comes through the door.

Our door-to-balloon time—from the moment a patient arrives to the time we remove a blockage—beats the 90-minutes-or-less national benchmark by half an hour. And in 2009, the American Heart Association awarded us the Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure Silver Performance Award.

“Vance had total blockage in the largest artery of his heart,” says John W. Nemanich, MD, FACC and Medical Director of Interventional Cardiology at VMC. Vance’s blockage was removed just 39 minutes from the time he came through our door.

“Valley saved my life. Plain and simple,” says Vance.
