The Satilla Regional Heart Center is the region’s leader in detecting, diagnosing and treating the region’s number one health problem: cardiovascular disease. Using such diagnostic tools as heart catheterizations, electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms (ECHO), exercise stress tests and nuclear studies, the Heart Center team searches for signs of heart and blood vessel disease. When further procedures are required, the Heart Center is ready with the technology, staff and experience. Working with other physicians and SRMC’s team of cardiovascular nurses, radiology technologists, and nuclear technologists, cardiologists on the Medical Staff perform more than 900 cardiac catheterizations in a typical year, as well as other advanced procedures
Your HeartThe normal heart is a strong, muscular pump a little larger than a fist. Each day, the average heart "beats" (expands and contracts) 100,000 times and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood. In a 70-year lifetime, an average human heart beats more than 2.5 billion times. The heart pumps blood to the lungs and to all the body`s tissues by a sequence of highly organized contractions of its four chambers. For the heart to function properly, the four chambers must beat in an organized manner.
