 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.
