Using a thoughtful, science-based approach that considers each patient’s unique condition, health, and concerns, Montefiore Einstein’s interventional cardiologists make judicious, clinically distinguished treatment decisions and create long-term health management strategies that optimize recovery time, individual lifestyle, and extended cardiac health.
Each year, Montefiore Einstein’s interventional cardiologists perform approximately 5,000 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and 2,000 cardiac interventions among 10 laboratories dedicated to adult cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology studies.
Montefiore Einstein’s patient population includes adults of virtually every race, culture, psychosocial background, and socioeconomic level, with cardiac diseases that include:
- coronary artery disease
- valvular heart disease
- diabetes
- congestive heart failure
Montefiore Einstein’s interventional cardiologists work closely with specialists in the internationally renowned Clinical Diabetes Center to offer a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to address the challenges of diabetes, including vascular problems, hypertension, and heart conditions.
A unified diabetes and vascular treatment center is currently in construction. Once completed, this facility will offer patients a single location for comprehensive treatment of cardiovascular conditions and diabetes, from diagnostic testing through surgery and postoperative treatment. Montefiore Einstein comprehensive diabetes center will provide a single point of interaction between scientists and clinical treatment providers from a range of medical specialties, enhance collaborative studies and facilitating effective translation of basic science findings into useful treatment therapies for diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
