Everything we do circulates around the heart
Our care doesn’t end with rehab. St. Luke’s cardiology services
range from anticoagulation clinics to women’s heart health. It’s
all designed to keep your heart and vascular system running at its best.
Anticoagulation Clinic
St. Luke's Anticoagulation Clinic provides education, laboratory monitoring
and dosage adjustment for patients taking anticoagulants, or blood thinners,
such as warfarin (Coumadin) in order to prevent clot formation and minimize
the risk of excessive bleeding.
Clinic staff monitors each patient to make sure the dosage is great enough
to prevent clot formation, without increasing the risk of excessive bleeding.
For patients on anticoagulants, several factors can affect the time it
takes for blood to clot, including activity level, medications, diet and
current health status (such as colds, flu, infection, etc.).

Women’s Heart Clinic
During an initial visit to the Women's Heart Clinic, you’ll undergo
a series of tests to determine your risk of heart disease. From there,
clinic staff, in partnership with St. Luke's primary care physicians
and other specialists, develop individualized care plans to fit your life.
