EIRMC's Heart Center provides world class heart care, right here in Idaho Falls. In fact, EIRMC was awarded a five-star rating by Healthgrades for 2016, and noted as Top 10% in the Nation for Coronary Intervention Excellence.
We have almost the complete spectrum of cardiac, cardiovascular, and thoracic services for adult patients with cardiac conditions that affect their heart and blood vessels. From testing and treatment to prevention and rehabilitation, our experienced and highly skilled staff is trained to take care of the unique needs of heart and vascular patients- and their families.
EIRMC's Heart Center offers a wide range of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, including minimally-invasive procedures and traditional open heart surgery. We are the only hospital in the region offering minimally-invasive valve repair and replacement. Additionally, we also offering electrophysiology services, the only in the region.
When it comes to heart problems, “time is muscle.” The quicker a heart attack patient receives care, the better the outcomes for the patient. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have challenged hospitals to meet a 90-minute goal for “Door to Balloon” (D2B) times for heart attack patients. D2B 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. EIRMC has far surpassed the national “best practices” standard, averaging 57 minutes over the last year.
Our superior clinical practices have also earned EIRMC Chest Pain Accreditation through the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care.
