At Dignity Health, our hospitals are staffed by teams of specialists in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of heart disease. Our cardiology experts never miss a beat when it comes to heart health.

Heart disease comes in many forms and can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnicity. In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. The more you can learn about your heart health, the better. Knowledge is truly powerful medicine that helps you understand your risks and take action to lessen your potential for problems. It can lead to early detection, and most importantly, to early treatment and better outcomes.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this. ​Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. ​Donations to the American Heart Association's LA Heart and Stroke Walk will benefit community awareness of Hands-Only CPR.
