Our goal is to provide the best cardiovascular care in NW Indiana. So, Methodist Hospitals is investing in the newest, most effective technologies to help our physicians diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. For example, our cardiologists are employing technologies in which angiograms are performed through the wrist’s small, radial artery instead of the groin. With this treatment, postprocedure bleeding risks are reduced, and patients are up and around soon after the procedure, instead of requiring prolonged bed rest. The trans-radial angiogram method is safer, economical and available as a “walk-in, walk-out” treatment. Methodist is also Northwest Indiana’s first hospital to earn the American Heart Association’s Get With the Guidelines Silver Award for treating heart failure patients.
