Heart Care
Heart Care
You need look no further than John Randolph to find the expert care you need when heart disease strikes. We offer the latest in noninvasive and minimally invasive diagnostic techniques and perform cardiac catheterization and pacemaker insertion on a regular basis. Our staff is here to help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
If you require more advanced heart surgery, we have transportation service available to the Levinson Heart Hospital in Richmond, named Virginia's #1 Heart Hospital three years in a row by HealthGrades.
In February 2004, we added a new cardiac catheterization lab. The state-of-the-art lab, located close to Outpatient Services, allows us to check more patients for blockages or other forms of heart disease in the coronary arteries.
Finding, Fixing & Preventing Heart Problems . . .
These days, a heart problem doesn't have to mean the fun is over. Many former heart patients will testify that you can have a life. Even with heart disease.
If you are in the recovery stage, we offer you a full cardiac rehab program. With supervised exercise and nutritional education, medication management, and peer support, our staff will work with you to help you get back to doing the things you enjoy. And provide the reassurance and encouragement that's so important along the way.
Also, for individuals who experience angina chest pain, we are the only hospital in Central Virginia that offers Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP), a non-surgical treatment, to help alleviate the pain. EECP promises to be one of the most important changes in the fight against heart disease.
And, we've made Hopewell a "Heart Safe Community"
Hearts in Hopewell can rest a little easier knowing their chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are getting better. The key is a device called an automated external defibrillator (AED), that enables ordinary citizens to provide treatment to victims of SCA. AEDs can be placed in police cars, office buildings, sports venues, hotels, and anywhere else people work, travel and play. A four-hour training session, covering both AEDs and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is all that's necessary to learn how to use the device.
