Empowering world-class care across the spectrum, including treatments never before offered in our region.
Cardiac care at PRHC is one of the hospital’s three Regional Centres of Excellence, serving patients from Durham, North Hastings, Northumberland, City of Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough and Peterborough County.
Cardiac services are centered in the donor-funded Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. There, specialists not only diagnose coronary artery disease and treat it before it leads to a heart attack; they also provide emergency treatment that can stop a heart attack in its tracks.
For example, last year almost 3,000 cardiac procedures were performed at PRHC. More than 50% took place in the Cath Lab, 25% of those requiring a
stent – about half of which took place during a heart attack.
The time has come to reinvest in PRHC’s Cardiac Centre for Excellence,
unlocking new opportunities and ensuring the people, infrastructure,
systems and programs are in place to empower world-class cardiac care
across the spectrum.
Recent donor support made it possible for PRHC to update the existing Cath Lab suites with state-of-the-art technology that supports significantly improved image quality, decreased procedure time and lower radiation doses. Now, donations will fund new advances such as the construction of a third Cardiac Lab and the introduction of electrophysiology – treating electrical problems of the heart and eliminating the need for patients to travel as far as Kingston for lifesaving cardiac care.
