Once known to the community as, The Heart Hospital, ValleyCare’s cardiac care is offered at both Northside Medical Center and Trumbull Memorial Hospital. The Heart Hospital performs more than 2000 cardiac catheterizations and 300 open heart surgeries annually.

As a leader in cardiac care in the community, ValleyCare Heart and Vascular has a strong history of 'firsts'. It was the first heart hospital in Mahoning Valley, the first in Trumbull County to perform open heart surgery, and the first to offer interventional cardiology services. Also, it was the site of the area’s first atrial fibrillation surgery and first endovascular stent grafting.

Northside Medical Center’s dedicated team is committed to providing quality care in a patient-centered environment for a variety of services including:
• Open Heart Surgery
• Valve Repair and Replacements
• Stents and Angioplasty
• Bypass Procedures
• Cardiac Care Unit
• Cath Lab
• Rehabilitation
• Telemetry
• Cardiac Diagnostic Services

Cardiac Intermediate Care Unit (CICU)
The Cardiac Intermediate Care Unit (CICU) monitors medical cardiac adult patients with primary diagnoses of sepsis, heart failure, myocardial infarction or electrophysiology disturbances.

Cardiac Laboratory
The Cardiac Laboratory, with two dedicated heart rooms and a shared holding room, provides the community with both inpatient and outpatient procedures. The lab offers an adjunct diagnostic and therapeutic service including invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures on patients twenty-two years or older.

Cardiovascular Intermediate Care Unit (CVICU)
The Cardiovascular Intermediate Care Unit (CVIC) unit, established in 2008, provides round-the-clock care to patients who have recently undergone cardiothoracic or vascular surgery or who require cardiac telemetry and CAPD.

Telemetry Unit
Cardiovascular Telemetry is designed for the care of patients who need their heart rhythms monitored. While in the unit, patients wear a wireless device that transmits signals from the heart to antennas located in the hallways. If well enough to move about, patients may walk freely through the hallways while their heart is being continuously monitored.

Much of the equipment used in this area will be unfamiliar to patients and families. An explanation of this equipment will be given by the nursing staff.

Visiting policies vary, depending upon patient condition and caregiving. Please ask the nurses before entering patient rooms.

Pulmonary Care Unit (PCU)
An adult intermediate care unit, the Pulmonary Care Unit (PCU) provides services to patients requiring continuous cardiac monitoring, aggressive pulmonary toileting or ventilator support, and antiarrhythmic therapy.
