Cardiology
The cardiologists at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart in Queens, part of the renowned Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, are experts in treating patients with sudden-onset, chronic, and rare heart conditions. We offer state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment for the full spectrum of heart disease in a warm and compassionate environment. All of our physicians are on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Starting with your first visit, we take the time to listen to your medical history and symptoms and answer your questions. If heart testing is recommended, we offer full diagnostic capabilities. We will discuss your results and treatment options, which may also include education on nutrition and exercise. We will also keep in touch with your primary or referring physician. Working as a team, we develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
Whether you are getting a baseline cardiac check-up, or receiving ongoing treatment, our goal is to prevent you from getting heart disease, or prevent it from getting worse.
