Leading the region with rapid treatment for heart attacks Our heart attack treatment times are among the fastest in the nation. The "gold standard" in caring for heart attack patients when they arrive in the ER is to perform angioplasty (a procedure to open narrowed arteries) within 90 minutes. Henry Ford Macomb Hospital routinely exceeds that standard - currently, our average "time to angioplasty" is just 54 minutes.
