If you have
chest pain,
choosing a hospital
could be the
most important
decision
you'll ever make.
You're having chest pain. You rush
to the emergency room.
It could be nothing. Or it could be
a major blockage in your heart.
But all too often, it takes 24 hours
or more before conventional tests
will tell you if you have a serious
heart problem. And those are the
longest 24 hours of your life.
Now there's a revolutionary new
CT test at Beaumont which can
accurately detect a heart problem
in just a few hours.
This new Beaumont procedure
means patients who are at risk
will be treated faster. Before
-
there's irreparable damage.
And patients who don't have heart
problems can breathe a sigh of
relief. And go back home.

Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak.
