Heart Care

At Trumbull Regional Medical Center, our comprehensive heart and vascular services are focused on preventing and treating heart disease. Our heart team is trained to diagnose chest pain quickly and begin treatment as soon as possible to help prevent, or even reverse, muscle damage to the heart. The hospital has achieved Chest Pain v7 Accreditation, which is the highest-level Chest Pain Accreditation available through the American College of Cardiology. 

As an accredited facility, expert care begins the moment someone with chest pain enters the emergency room, and continues through diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and follow up.

Trumbull Regional offers Coronary Calcium Scoring, a convenient and non-invasive way of evaluating whether you may be at an increased risk for a heart attack.

Heart Rhythm Management Services 

Heart Rhythm Disorder known as an arrhythmia, is characterized by abnormal heartbeat — too fast, too slow or irregular. Doctors use tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), electrophysiology studies or a Holter monitor, which records heart activity over a period of time, to diagnose arrhythmias. We provide comprehensive arrhythmia treatment, from lifestyle-modification assistance to highly complex surgical treatment.

Heart Failure Expertise

Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart can no longer pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Different from a heart attack, heart failure is a chronic, long-term condition that prevents the heart from functioning effectively. Treatment options include medical management, risk-factor management, minimally invasive cardiac catheterization and surgery.

Heart Attack Symptoms In Women

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. Although the most common heart attack symptom for both men and women is chest pain or discomfort, women are more likely than men to experience atypical symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain.

Other heart attack symptoms include:

• Chest discomfort, which can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. The feeling can either last for more than a few minutes or can go away and come back.
• Discomfort or pain in other areas of the upper body, such as in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or vomiting, or lightheadedness.

Hands-Only CPR

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death with nearly 400,000 cases occurring every year in the U.S. About 89% of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die.

Research shows that Hands-Only CPR (without mouth-to-mouth breaths) performed by a bystander is just as effective in the first few minutes of sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital.

No matter where you are, if you witness a teen or an adult suddenly collapse, you need to act fast — a delay of just a few minutes could be the difference between life and death. So check out this video from the American Heart Association, and remember these two easy steps:

• Call 911, or have someone else call immediately and keep your phone on speaker mode.
• Push down hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
• A song like Bee Gees’ disco hit “Stayin’ Alive” can help you keep pace.
