Circulatory
Overview
The vascular system is made up of arteries, veins and the blood
they carry to supply oxygen and important nutrients to every part
of the body. Any disruption of blood flow has the potential to
damage organs such as the heart, the brain and the kidneys. At
Beverly Hospital, Addison Gilbert Hospital and Beverly Hospital at
Danvers, our team of exceptionally trained and experienced
professionals utilize the most advanced technology and techniques
available to identify, treat and manage circulation problems. Our
services include:
• Emergency care in the Addison Gilbert Hospital
and Beverly Hospital Emergency Departments. Both are designated
Primary Stroke Service Hospitals that have a specialized team
on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to immediately evaluate
and treat patients who are experiencing acute stroke symptoms.
Patients who are experiencing a heart attack have access to
immediate evaluation and PTCA (a procedure to unblock a blocked
coronary artery), when appropriate, which has been shown to
minimize damage to the heart.
• Comprehensive stroke care through our Stroke
Program, that provides preventive care and education, emergent
care, rehabilitative services, and follow up care
• Multidisciplinary and comprehensive
cardiovascular services featuring advanced diagnostic and treatment
modalities at Addison Gilbert Hospital, the Cardiovascular Center at Beverly
Hospital at Danvers, and our state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Suite
at Beverly Hospital.
• Vascular Surgery services for
assessment and management of a wide variety of vascular disorders,
including problems in the circulation to the brain (carotid artery
surgery), kidneys (renal artery surgery), abdominal aorta (aneurysm
and obstructive arterial disease, including use of endovascular
aortic stent grafts), intestines (mesenteric and celiac arteries),
and problems in the circulation of the legs, including those
associated with the complications of diabetes mellitus. Vascular
surgeons also care for patients who have varicose veins and leg
ulcers.
• An Anticoagulation
Management Service that provides education and support for
individuals on an anticoagulation regimen.

Lifestyle Management Institute at Beverly Hospital at Danvers for
individuals who have diabetes, high blood pressure, high
