State-of-the-art cardiovascular care

 

500 West Putnam Ave. in Greenwich
The Yale New Haven Health Heart and Vascular Center located at 500 West Putnam Ave. in Greenwich focuses as much on prevention and education as it does on advanced diagnostic and treatment options.

 

The Yale New Haven Health Heart and Vascular Center offers a wide range of cardiovascular services, including diagnostics, electrophysiology, emergency angioplasty, vascular surgery and rehabilitation services. The center treats patients with arrhythmia, heart attack, stroke, congenital heart disease, vascular diseases, pericardial disease and pulmonary embolism.

“As part of Yale New Haven Health, Greenwich Hospital provides most of the same cardiovascular procedures as Yale New Haven Hospital,” said Christopher Howes, MD, an interventional cardiologist and director of the Heart and Vascular Center in Greenwich. “We also employ the same specially trained cardiac physicians, technicians, nurses and support staff. The only difference is that we offer this in a location convenient to patients, and their families, in Greenwich and the surrounding communities.”

Jill Ernst’s experience with ablation underscores the benefit of having the Heart and Vascular Center close to home or work. “Greenwich Hospital has the unique privilege of being a community hospital that caters to local patients,” Dr. Howes said. "Over the last 20 years we’ve made dramatic progress in elevating our continuum of care. The treatment of arrhythmias with ablation is another extension of what we do here.”
