Cardiology

The Division of Cardiology has multiple goals in conjunction with the Heart and Vascular Hospital.

Our major goal is to provide the highest quality evidenced-based care to our patients. In addition, we have a world class academic cardiology program with research projects (see below) and a training program for cardiology fellows and advanced fellows in interventional cardiology, heart failure, and structural heart disease. We care for the entire adult population of patients from age 21 through the geriatric population.

Awarded several disease specific certifications & Accredited as a Chest Pain Center

Heart and Vascular Hospital

We began with a vision to offer our patients a new kind of cardiac care - care that brings together the country's best specialists under one roof that will utilize the latest scientific data and always put the needs of their patients first. This vision was brought to fruition, and advanced, with the development of the Heart & Vascular Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center.
