In Case of Cardiac Emergency

If you are experiencing symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, call 911 immediately. Do not wait.

At Washington Health, we are a designated STEMI Receiving Center and Stroke Receiving Center for Alameda County. This means we are fully equipped with advanced technology and specialized heart and stroke teams ready to provide immediate, life-saving care in our Emergency Department.

What is a STEMI heart attack?

A STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) is a severe type of heart attack caused by a major blockage in blood flow to the heart. It requires urgent treatment to restore blood flow and prevent heart damage.

Common heart attack symptoms

Heart attack symptoms can vary for men and women. Watch for:

Chest pain, pressure, tightness, or a heavy feeling
Pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach
Shortness of breath
Cold sweats
Nausea or vomiting
Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness

Stroke warning signs

Sudden weakness or numbness (especially on one side of the body)
Trouble speaking or understanding speech
Sudden confusion or vision changes
Sudden severe headache

If you think you or someone near you is experiencing a heart attack or a stroke, call 911 immediately.

Interventional Cardiology Treatments

These services encompass a broad range of testing, including echo stress tests, echocardiograms, electrocardiograms (EKGs), nuclear testing, Holter monitoring, and ZIO patches. Our patients come to us with a range of conditions, including heart palpitations, chest pain, cardiac arrhythmias, atrial septic defects (ASD), heart murmurs, atrial fibrillation, and more. The team offers all of the latest, cutting-edge cardiology treatments, including interventional cardiology––which includes stents, angioplasty, and electrophysiology procedures, such as pacemaker insertion and implantable loop recorders.

If a cardiology patient requires surgery, it’s important to note that our patients receive the highest level of care available anywhere, thanks to Washington Hospital’s strategic relationship with UCSF Health and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. It’s a collaboration that’s creating a comprehensive and integrated regional health care network, and includes providing Tri-City residents local access to many of UCSF’s renowned specialty services, such as cardiothoracic surgery. This gives patients convenient access to the specialized physicians, expertise and research of UCSF Health.

The cardiology experts affiliated with WHMG ensure that patients receive superior care across the board. Washington Health facilities are equipped with the latest technology and equipment in order to help ensure this care. As a team, we are proud of the services we offer, from clinics to surgery, each staffed by top professionals who are committed to the best possible outcomes.
