Heart Attack Care
Recognizing and reacting to the early symptoms of a heart attack – such as chest pain – and reducing the time it takes to receive treatment improves your chances of survival and recovery.
Our specially-trained teams of emergency department doctors, nurses and cardiologists know the early signs of a heart attack and are ready to intervene quickly.
The Chest Pain Center at Lake West Medical Center Emergency Department is accredited by ACC Accreditation Services, assuring you nationally recognized expertise in early heart attack care and treatment. Patients arriving at the TriPoint ED or Madison ED with signs of a heart attack are stabilized and then transferred to Lake West Medical Center for catheterization or open-heart surgery.
If we determine your chest pain is caused by something other than a heart attack, such as gastrointestinal conditions or a lung problem, we’ll help connect you to care for that concern.

Partnering with First Responders
We coordinate with local EMS to help heart attack patients receive treatment before they even get to the ED. Our heart emergency response time has helped us exceed the American Heart Association’s high standard of opening a blocked artery in fewer than 90 minutes, starting when the patient arrives in the ED.
