Nancy, Ocala Heart Patient's Wife
Every 34 seconds, in the United States, someone suffers a heart attack; a cardiology-related statistic which can be vastly reduced with a little prevention. High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart disease and stroke. One-third of adults in the United States has high blood pressure, and half of those individuals do not have their condition under control. Elevated cholesterol, diabetes, poor diet, smoking, and sedentary lifestyle are other contributors to heart health and heart and lung disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Ocala Heart Institute provides the highest standards of care for the diagnosis and treatment of the heart and vascular system, as well as the pulmonary system and other thoracic-related areas. Ocala Heart Institute strives to restore your vitality using state-of-the-art imaging, treatment modalities and minimally invasive procedures, such as the da Vinci® Surgical System for robotic heart surgery.
As a patient of Ocala Heart Institute, you and your family are top priority. We understand that educating you and your family regarding the cardiovascular and cardiothoracic conditions, surgical procedures and options are vital in managing your expectations as a patient.
