Door-to-balloon inflation time is a critical measurement of a hospital's ability to open blocked arteries quickly in heart attack patients. Ninety minutes is the standard, but Bellin is able to do it in 60 minutes or less. Our coronary artery bypass (CAB) mortality rate and blood use are both below national averages. Plus, our CAB infection rate is 0.
