Preventing a heart attack before it happens.
On your own, it's impossible to know whether your arteries are narrowing and endangering your life. That's why Riverside Methodist offers state-of-the-art heart scans for calcium scoring. Calcium scoring shows if your arteries are narrowing from the build up of plaque and helps your doctor assess the state of your heart. The technology allows our physicians to screen patients for heart disease before a heart attack strikes.
You may be a candidate for a heart scan if you have any of the following risk factors: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, family history, smoking and obesity. Call (614) 4-HEALTH to schedule your Calcium Scoring Heart Scan appointment at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

The right stents at the right time.
Riverside Methodist Hospital is the only hospital in central Ohio with a comprehensive supply of drug-eluting stents, mesh tubes used to prop open clogged arteries. It means patients are treated immediately, as opposed to waiting for the right sized drug-eluting stent or receiving a bare-metal stent. Riverside physicians were some of the first in the country to use drug-eluting stents, now considered the first major breakthrough in the treatment of heart disease in 25 years.

A world-class, full-service heart hospital, the McConnell Heart Hospital at Riverside features the latest technology, procedures and clinical trials across specialties, performed by board-certified cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, interventional radiologists and highly experienced staff. But the world-class medical care is just the beginning.
