   Cardiac Care

Working in partnership with cardiologists at Abbott Northwestern and the Minneapolis Heart institute, our staff is dedicated to your recovery … heart and soul.

Our Cardiology specialists are renowned for an integrated approach to medical care. This approach involves the full range of cardiovascular specialties, working together toward excellence in all areas of heart disease prevention and management.

Hutchinson Community Hospital is designated as a "Level One Heart Attack" facility. 

Cardiology services include:

  • Holter Monitoring 
    Holter monitoring is a continuous recording of your heart rhythm, usually for 24 to 48 hours, while you go about your usual daily activities. It is especially useful in diagnosing abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias.
      

  • Pacemaker and ICD Followup Program for individuals with abnormalities in their cardiac electrical system.
      

  • Hutchinson Area Health Care is part of the Acute Aortic Dissection Program at Abbott Northwestern, where specialists from several disciplines collaborate to provide the most advanced care possible. 
     

  • Level One Heart Attack Program 
    Research shows that patients with certain types of heart attacks are much more likely to recover fully if treated within 90 minutes. This includes a treatment known as percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary angioplasty, which requires a catheterization lab staffed by highly skilled physicians and clinicians.

    The treatment goal is to direct angioplasty/stenting within 90 minutes from the time patients arrive at the emergency room at Hutchinson Community Hospital to balloon inflation at the Abbott Northwestern catheterization lab. 
      

  • Cardiac Rehabilitation 
    Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program is a medically supervised program of exercise and education  to help you recover after a heart attack, from other forms of heart disease or after surgery to treat heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation programs significantly increase your chances of survival.
