Cardiac Emergency Care
24/7 ER management of cardiac emergencies—our physicians employ ACLS protocols, advanced imaging, and rapid pharmacologic interventions to stabilize you before seamless referral for definitive cardiology care.
24/7 ER Cardiac Stabilization and Monitoring
When you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or other signs of cardiac distress, every second is critical. At Priority ER Care, our board-certified emergency physicians provide immediate ECG monitoring, point-of-care labs, and pain relief—under one roof, 24/7. From rapid troponin testing and chest X-rays to CT angiography and urgent medications, we deliver focused interventions to reduce damage and restore hemodynamic stability.
When to Choose ER vs. Cardiologist
Knowing where to go first can save heart muscle—and lives.
Go to Priority ER Care when you have:
- Severe chest pain or pressure, especially with sweating or nausea
- Acute shortness of breath at rest or new-onset rapid breathing
- Syncope or near-syncope (fainting or lightheadedness)
- Palpitations with hemodynamic compromise (dizziness, low blood pressure)
- Signs of shock: rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, altered mental status
- Sudden onset arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation with RVR, ventricular tachycardia)
- Cardiac arrest requiring CPR and defibrillation
See your cardiologist first when you have:
- Stable, chronic angina without acute changes
- Routine follow-up visits or medication adjustments
- Mild palpitations without dizziness or syncope
- Elective ECG or stress test for non-urgent evaluation
- Chronic heart failure management in stable condition
When in doubt—especially with crushing chest pain or breathlessness—Priority ER Care is your immediate 24/7 resource for lifesaving cardiac stabilization and rapid referral.
