Customized care for heart stent patients is here – ONLY AT SANFORD HEART HOSPITAL. Sanford Heart is proud to be part of a health system that has focused on integrating genomic medicine into primary care, which is dramatically changing how we deliver care to your patients. Now with one simple genetic test – not available anywhere else in the region – heart stent patients can significantly reduce their risk of future heart attacks. This test allows our experts to pinpoint the most effective anti-clotting medication for each patient, based on their DNA.
