Treating chest pain at The Christ Hospital Heart & Vascular Institute
Dr. Kereiakes: At The Christ Hospital Heart & Vascular Institute, we never want to tell a patient, “There is nothing else we can do for you.” Frequently, we can help patients with the expertise and technology of our coronary revascularization program, but there are individuals who continue to experience chest pain and shortness of breath because their disease remains resistant to treatment. We have several programs specifically for these individuals that offer help for debilitating symptoms, improve overall health, and restore quality of life. We are fortunate to have Dr. Henry, a nationally recognized pioneer in heart attack care, and stem cell and regenerative therapies, as the leader of these initiatives.
