About the Chest Pain Center
If you or someone you know is experiencing acute chest pain and arrive at our Emergency Department, the focused experience and expertise of physicians of the Jefferson Chest Pain Center can mean the difference between life and death.
The Center, which is operated within our Emergency Department, is accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers and leverages the expertise of cardiologists, emergency physicians and nurse specialists. For you, that means having access to a highly skilled team that will provide rapid and thorough diagnosis and treatment.
Our team uses proven protocols to help identify and treat the early stages of a heart attack – which, in some cases, can prevent or even reverse damage to the heart muscles.
