Cardiology

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, significant advancements in cardiology were made possible at Sutter Health in 2022, improving patient outcomes and saving lives.

Two notable investments that were made last year through donor funds include a Hands-Free Chest Compression System at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, and a Cardiac Ultrasound Echo machine at Memorial Medical Center.

Hands-Free Chest Compression System

The Hands-Free Chest Compression System has revolutionized cardiac resuscitation efforts, providing critical support during life-threatening situations. This cutting-edge system automates chest compressions, allowing medical professionals to deliver consistent and high-quality CPR without fatigue or interruptions. This technology has dramatically increased the chances of survival for patients experiencing cardiac arrest, ensuring timely and effective treatment.

Cardiac Ultrasound Echo

Additionally, the acquisition of the Cardiac Ultrasound Echo machine at Memorial Medical Center has enhanced our diagnostic capabilities and improved patient care. This state-of-the-art machine enables detailed and accurate imaging of the heart, facilitating early detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. With its advanced imaging capabilities, physicians can assess heart function, identify abnormalities, and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. This technology has greatly contributed to more precise diagnoses, improved monitoring of treatment effectiveness, and better overall patient outcomes.

Thank you for your support

These advancements will go on to help patients like Hope, who experienced a racing heartbeat and arm pain in 2017, leading to a necessary heart repair at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento.

Through your support, we have been able to invest in these vital cardiology advancements, directly impacting the lives of countless individuals in our community. Your generosity has provided medical teams with the tools they need to deliver the highest quality cardiac care, improve survival rates, and enhance the quality of life for patients and their families. Together, we are making a significant difference in the fight against cardiovascular disease and ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care.
