SPECIALTY CARE - Cardiology

Heart disease takes more lives than any other health condition, and there is a high incidence of it in Northeast Connecticut. To combat this, we’ve developed a high-quality, comprehensive and coordinated program of cardiac care, frequently referred to as “the chain of survival.”

Primary Prevention 

The first link in the chain of survival is prevention. Our primary care practitioners work to identify at-risk individuals before they suffer a cardiac event, and then help them take an active role in avoiding a serious heart condition by implementing a preventative program of medication, awareness, and lifestyle modification.
