Services We Offer

Cardiology

We provide the highest level of cardiac care, providing diagnosis and management of a full spectrum of heart problems in infants, children and young adults. We recognize the value that parents and family have in helping children and young adults with heart problems, so we have adopted a family-centered approach to care.

Our services consist of a variety of diagnostic techniques including cardiac consultation, EKG analysis, exercise and stress testing and state-of-the-art echocardiogram equipment.

For expectant parents with a family history of cardiovascular disease, we offer fetal echocardiogram testing and, if necessary, after your child is born we offer observation and care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).

If surgical intervention is needed, including heart transplant, patients may be referred to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s Children’s Heart Center. Joel T. Hardin, M.D., the Director of Cardiology for the Children’s Hospital at Newark Beth, works closely with the patient’s cardiology team to diagnose and treat a variety of cardiac problems. In 2006, the Children's Hospital of New Jersey at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center was certified by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to perform pediatric heart transplantation. The certification ensures that young adults and teens in New Jersey have access to the same extraordinary level of care for complex heart problems that adults receive.
