BCMC ER Earns Two Awards from American Heart Association
The Bradley County Medical Center Emergency Department has received American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Coronary Artery Disease STEMI Referring Center and Coronary Artery Disease Rural Recognition, both at a Bronze level, for its commitment to offering rapid, research-based care to people experiencing a specific type of heart attack known as an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), known to be more severe and dangerous than other types of heart attacks.
Each year, about 285,000 people in the U.S. experience this type of heart attack, caused by a complete blockage in a coronary artery. Nearly 40% of people who go to the emergency room with acute coronary syndrome are diagnosed with a STEMI. Like all heart attacks, this requires timely treatment to restore blood flow as quickly as possible.
