Delaware News Desk
Atlantic General Hospital Vascular Laboratory announced it has been granted an additional three-year term of accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission in echocardiography in the area of adult transthoracic.
This latest accreditation awarded to Atlantic General Hospital Vascular Laboratory demonstrates the facility’s ongoing commitment to providing quality patient care in echocardiography.
Echocardiography is used to assess different areas of the heart and can detect heart disease or signs of serious conditions. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., followed closely by stroke as the fourth highest cause of death. According to the American Heart Association, more than 2,150 Americans die each day from cardiovascular disease about one every 40 seconds.
