HEART FAILURE TREATMENT AND HEART TRANSPLANT PROGRAM (973) 926-7890

Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is the only hospital in New Jersey and one of only 30 hospitals nationwide participating in a clinical trial to test the new Acorn CorCap Cardiac Support, a new device which holds promise for extending and improving the overall health of those with severe heart disease who are not candidates for heart transplantation.

Heart failure has become a true epidemic in this country, affecting nearly 5 million Americans and is the only cardiovascular disorder on the rise. More than 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Newark Beth Israel Medical Center has enlarged its team and increased the number of medications and technologies available to patients in New Jersey. Located between major university-based transplant centers in New York City and Philadelphia, the Medical Center has proven that it can do as good a job – and in many cases a better job – than neighboring institutions.
