Heart - Cardiology & Cardiovascular Surgery

Treatment Options

"Our cardiac catheterization laboratories are open every hour of every day," says Samin K. Sharma, MD, Director of Clinical and Interventional Cardiology, and President of Mount Sinai Heart Network. "We treat more than 14,000 cases every year” throughout Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital. “We are one of the most experienced centers in the country and have one of the lowest complication rates in the New York tri-state area."

At each Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital location, our goal is to establish a well-coordinated plan that includes a close partnership between you and your health care team. We consider a series of factors as we develop your treatment plan, including lifestyle changes, medications, and in more advanced cases, surgery and rehabilitation.

Factors that determine your course of treatment for heart disease include age, overall health, disease progression, risk factors, and patient preferences.

Taking advantage of the research happening every day at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, our team can enroll patients in research trials for new and groundbreaking treatments not yet available elsewhere.
