Parker Adventist Hospital offers expert physicians, the latest technology and comprehensive treatment to diagnose and treat heart disease and heart attacks. Our program includes early detection of cardiac disease, emergency care for heart attacks and chest pain, cardiac catheterization services, and cardiac rehabilitation. We also offer healthy heart seminars and coronary calcium artery screenings to help people prevent heart disease.
Our expert cardiologists partner with patients’ primary care physicians to optimally treat all types of cardiac conditions, including:
- Angina
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart failure
- Valvular heart disease
- Rheumatic heart disease
Our cardiology team specializes in interventional cardiology, providing non-surgical treatment for cardiovascular disease. Cardiologists use catheterization treatments including angioplasty and stent placement to treat structural heart disease and to open narrowed arteries caused by coronary artery disease. Patients benefit by avoiding scars, pain and long recoveries from surgery. Learn more about our catheterization services.
The Cardiac Services at Parker Adventist Hospital include:
- Nuclear perfusion imaging
- Stress echocardiograms
- Transesophageal-echocardiography
- Echocardiograms
- Stress testing
- Holter monitoring
- Event Recording
- Pacemaker
- Electrocardiograms
- Fit testing/pre-employment stress testing
If you have questions about your heart health, we encourage you to take our online heart risk assessment and then review the results with your doctor. If you do not have a primary care doctor or cardiologist, call ASK-A-NURSE® at 303-777-6877 for a referral.
Additional information about cardiac testing and heart health is available online at the American Stroke Association's website.
Parker Adventist Hospital receives American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines Silver Performance Achievement Award
Parker Hospital recently received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines–Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Silver Performance Achievement Award. The award recognizes our commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of cardiac care. The care and protocols implemented are proven to effectively improve treatment of patients hospitalized with coronary artery disease and reduce the number of recurrent events and deaths in cardiovascular disease patients.
Under Get With The Guidelines–CAD, patients are started on aggressive risk reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, aspirin, ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers in the hospital and receive smoking cessation/ weight management counseling as well as referrals for cardiac rehabilitation before they are discharged. Hospitals that receive the Get With The Guidelines-CAD Silver Performance Achievement Award have demonstrated for at least one year that 85 percent of its coronary patients (without contraindications) are discharged following the American Heart Association’s recommended treatment guidelines.
Parker Adventist Hospital is dedicated to making our cardiac unit among the best in the country, and the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines program is helping us accomplish that by making it easier for our professionals to improve the long-term outcomes of our cardiac patients. We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care.
