(Pittsburgh, PA) Allegheny Health Network’s (AHN’s) Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) announced today in Pittsburgh the completion of a $19 million renovation and expansion of its cardiac catheterization (cath) and electrophysiology (EP) labs, along with upgraded pre- and post-operative holding rooms and a centralized registration area within the AHN Cardiovascular Institute.

AHN AGH’s new facilities mark the latest milestone for the hospital’s Mario Lemeiux Center for Heart Rhythm Care, which was established in 2024 in partnership with the Mario Lemeiux Foundation and Highmark Health.

AHN AGH now currently operates three cath labs, three EP labs, two multiprocedural rooms, and one hybrid surgical suite adaptable for either cardiac cath or EP procedures.

All of the surgical spaces as well as the patient holding area, registration and clinical administration offices are now located on the same floor within the hospital, which creates easier navigation and check-in and general access for clinicians, patients and their families.
