INDIANAPOLIS – Franciscan Health Central Indiana has been rated the top hospital in the state for heart care by CareChex.
The 2022 ratings announced by CareChex, an information service of Quantros, Inc. – reports that Franciscan Health Indianapolis is No. 1 in Indiana for medical excellence in cardiac care. Quantros also named the hospital No. 1 in the state for medical excellence in interventional coronary care for the second year in a row.
Physicians and staff of the Franciscan Health Heart Center, part of the Indianapolis hospital, have routinely been among the first adapters of advanced procedures and devices, including brachial artery approach for cardiac catheterizations, interventional valve replacements, extracellular matrix for heart and valve repairs, and the Watchman device for patients with atrial fibrillation.
The Heart Center was among the first facilities in the country to pioneer an emergency heart attack response team protocol that initiated treatment for heart attack patients more quickly once they reached the hospital’s emergency department. The Heart Center also is home to one of the first cardio-oncology clinics that monitors the heart function of cancer patients during their treatments.
