The Division of Cardiology, under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Bella, is at the forefront in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Its inpatient and outpatient facilities provide high quality, state-of-the-art services to manage coronary heart disease and treat heart attacks, heart failure, and abnormal heart rhythms. BronxCare is also one of a select group of organizations participating in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Million Hearts® Cardiovascular Disease Reduction Model, an initiative that will provide an important opportunity to decrease cardiovascular disease risk.
In the outpatient area, BronxCare’s Division of Cardiology is delivering high level diagnostic and treatment services for the heart in coordination with patients and their primary care providers. “Our cardiologists are responding to the high incidence of coronary disease, utilizing a Cardiac Catheterization Suite and Electrophysiology Lab to diagnose heart problems at an early stage. We are also helping patients understand and reduce their risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, and cholesterol,” stated Dr. Nassim Krim, Director, Cardiac Catheterization Lab/Interventional Cardiology.
