Cardiovascular medicine includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions impacting the heart. Our expert team of clinicians includes cardiologists who care for patients across the region with an array of complex conditions.
For the condition of heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, the Heart and Vascular Center offers the CardioMEMS™ HF System, a device that can provide timely health status information that can be used toward modifying a patient’s care plan, as needed.

Lawrence + Memorial Hospital is the only hospital in eastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island to perform elective angioplasty for patients with coronary artery disease and emergency angioplasty for victims of acute heart attack.
Our successful record of performing emergency angioplasty, in a collaborative program with Yale New Haven Hospital, helped lead the way for this new model of elective angioplasty performed at a community hospital.
Emergency angioplasty is the most effective way to treat most heart attack victims, saving heart muscle and saving lives. At L+M, Yale-affiliated interventional cardiologists are on call round-the-clock to provide the service, and are in close communication with paramedics and Emergency Department staff, thereby capable of preparing for an emergency procedure before the patient’s hospital arrival. L+M is the first community hospital in Connecticut to perform emergency and elective angioplasty without needing a full open-heart surgical service.
Lawrence + Memorial (L+M) heart rhythm specialists care for patients with irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), heart palpitations and slow and rapid heart rhythms. Our cardiac electrophysiologists treat patients with all types of heart rhythm disorders.
Among our advanced treatments for atrial fibrillation is pulsed field ablation. This new technology uses short electrical pulses to ablate cells that are causing atrial fibrillation. Studies suggest this new, highly precise technique safely and effectively treats atrial fibrillation with faster procedure times than traditional methods and lower complication rates.

At the Lawrence + Memorial Cardiac Catheterization Lab, cardiologists perform procedures to implant pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. Loop recorders for long-term heart rhythm monitoring are also implanted.
The Women's Heart and Vascular Program provides state-of-the-art cardiac care for women with heart disease, as well as expert screening of women at risk for heart disease.
Heart disease remains the number one killer of American women and there is a great need for specialized care directed at women's cardiac needs. The Women's Heart and Vascular Program is dedicated to screening, educating and treating women at risk for, or with established heart disease.

Signs of heart attack include the most common symptoms, such as chest pain or pain radiating down an arm, often the left arm. However, heart attack symptoms can also feel like gas or heartburn. Symptoms in women are often even more vague.
