theresults Statistically speaking, cardiovascular disease is reaching global epidemic proportions. Approximately 17.3 million people will die as a result of complications related to CVD. The worldwide financial toll approaches more than $400 billion, including both direct and indirect costs related to heart disease. Measuring success against something so vast seems insurmountable, yet that’s exactly what ICE aims to achieve‌ one man, one woman, one child at a time. Putting patients first demands a relentless focus on measurable quality. By setting stringent standards, collecting data and analyzing results, ICE puts patients first through improved outcomes and better service, giving patients the opportunity to live longer, more fulfilling lives. In three short years, ICE has successfully treated, educated and mentored people worldwide, with better risk-adjusted survival rates than the Top 50 hospitals, lower complications and fewer readmissions thanks, in part, to the post-operative lifestyle and wellness initiatives ICE employs. Education, support and world-class medical care may begin with the initial consultation, but ICE proudly extends that continuum of care far beyond the discharge home. Hundreds of men and women issued bleak or even morbid outcomes by one doctor have found hope and renewal at the hands of Dr. Qamar and his experienced team of board-certified cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and associated specialists. And as anyone who has survived a heart attack or loved someone with cardiovascular disease knows, hope is often the first step toward healing.
