| Cardiology:
Taking Patients to Heart |
|
Bronx-Lebanon is clearly taking the community to heart in treating
cardiovascular disease. Its Division of Cardiology, under the
direction of Dr. Jonathan M. Bella, is a leader in addressing coronary
disease and preventing heart attacks. The Cardiology
Division’s inpatient functions, including the Coronary Intensive
Care Unit, are an essential part of its daily activities.
Bronx-
Lebanon’s Angioplasty/PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)
program also offers patients the benefit of minimally invasive
procedures to address cardiac disease. Additionally, the hospital’s
new Short Stay Observation Unit is monitoring and evaluating ER
patients in cardiac distress.

It provides a most effective conduit
for determining whether these patients require additional cardiac
inpatient care or can be discharged. In the outpatient area, Bronx-Lebanon’s state-of-the-art Cardiac
Catheterization and Nuclear Stress testing facilities provide vital
assistance in the diagnosis and treatment of the often life-threatening
problems associated with heart disease. “We work with
our patients to determine the best strategy for them, including
assessing and reducing their risk factors,” stated Dr. Hussein
Shaqra, Director, Interventional Cardiology.
