Accredited Chest Pain Center
Memorial Hermann Sugar Land is an accredited Chest Pain Center as designated by the Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC). Accredited Chest Pain Centers undergo a rigorous evaluation process by the SCPC based on their ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients quickly and effectively. Currently there are less than 400 accredited chest pain centers, only representing 10 percent of United States hospital.
Working in partnership with EMS, emergency physicians, cardiologists and critical care nurses, a Chest Pain Center’s goal is to shorten the time from a patient’s initial cardiac symptoms to treatment. Accredited Chest Pain Centers have been found to reduce the mortality rates of patients suffering from chest pain through a very specific protocol-driven and systematic approach which allows physicians to:
- Treat patients more quickly during the critical early stages of heart attack, when treatments are most effective
- Better monitor patients when it’s not clear whether they are having a coronary event, which ensures that patients are not sent home too early or needlessly admitted
Patients also benefit from easy access to the prevention, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services of Memorial Hermann's Heart & Vascular Institute.
