Wonderful news!!! I am excited to announce that Hartford HealthCare from Hartford, Connecticut just became the newest sponsor of HeartValveSurgery.com.
Hartford HealthCare is a national leader in heart disease prevention, treatment, surgery and research. Recent accolades and achievements for Hartford HealthCare Heart & Vascular Institute include:
- Received the Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center Award from the American Heart Association and the Mitral Foundation for a demonstrated record of superior clinical outcomes resulting from evidence-based, guideline-directed degenerative mitral valve repair.
- Named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery, Coronary Intervention and Cardiac Care according to new research released by Healthgrades.
- Earned the Joint Commission’s Comprehensive Cardiac Center (CCC) Certification, becoming the first cardiac program in New England and one of 16 nationally to be awarded this prestigious designation.
“HeartValveSurgery.com provides an easy connection between us and our patients. It is comforting to the patients to have a direct source of reliable information,” stated Dr. Sabet Hashim, Chairman of Cardiac Surgery and Co-Physician in Chief of the Hartford HealthCare Heart & Vascular Institute. “It also makes access to our practice easier for patients to self-refer.”
Specific to heart valve therapy, Hartford HealthCare provides patients a wide range of treatment options for stand-alone valvular defects and complex multi-valve disease. Hartford HealthCare also treats related cardiac conditions including atrial fibrillation, aortic aneurysms and coronary artery disease.
Hartford HealthCare specializes in minimally-invasive surgical and transcatheter approaches to treating valvular disease including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation. “We want our patients to recover quickly with the least amount of discomfort possible,” states Dr. Hashim. “For that reason, we developed minimally-invasive techniques that provide long-term, durable outcomes for heart valve repair and heart valve replacement procedures.”
Hartford HealthCare Microsite Launches at HeartValveSurgery.com
To help educate patients at HeartValveSurgery.com learn about Hartford HealthCare and its approach to all forms of surgical and interventional valve therapies, we just launched a new Hartford HealthCare microsite at this link.
