Heart Failure Care
The adequate treatment for heart failure patients depends on the area of heart affected. The "evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function" is a test that helps health providers determine whether the left side of the heart is pumping properly.
| Measure | Hospital Average | How this Hospital Compares |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function | 75% Measure: Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function This heart failure measure is based on a sample size of 12. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015 | Heart failure patients given an evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic (LVS) function.
