ULSS 1 Dolomiti serves the Belluno province , including Belluno, Feltre, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Cadore, and the Agordino. It has a composite score of 48/100, just below the national average. The data should be analyzed in relation to geography: the one-year survival rate for strokes is among the highest in the nation, while the 30-day STEMI survival rate is the lowest in Italy. Stroke patients who reach the hospital fare well within Veneto’s rehabilitation system, but acute STEMI cases suffer due to the long mountain drives required to access a catheter lab. Residents at risk for cardiovascular issues should anticipate potential transfer to Treviso or Padova for urgent cardiac care; however, stroke recovery and ongoing management are well-addressed locally.
