Mariani Family
Cardiology Center Cardiac Services Program
Huntington
Hospital offers a full spectrum of advanced cardiac diagnostic
testing and intervention in our dedicated Cardiac Services
Unit. This comprehensive program, which occupies an attractive
new third floor wing, is the result of a highly successful
collaboration among our skilled cardiologists, Huntington
Hospital and the North Shore –Long Island Jewish Health
System.
The cardiac catheterization laboratory provides
the technology needed to accurately diagnose coronary and
valvular heart disease and to measure critical aspects
of heart function. For the patient who requires heart surgery
or related interventions, our physicians and nurses are
committed to ensuring seamless continuity between the community
setting and North Shore –
LIJ tertiary cardiac resources.
Emergency cardiac intervention. Huntington
Hospital is one of fifteen New York State hospitals participating
in a program aimed at ensuring prompt, accurate treatment
for heart attack victims, utilizing the most advanced techniques
for opening blocked coronary arteries. An expert team of
interventional cardiologists, nurses and technicians perform primary
angioplasty and coronary stent insertion twenty
four hours a day under a protocol that speeds diagnosis
and minimizes door-to-catheter time. The result is better
outcomes and faster recovery.
All of our cardiac catheterization procedures are performed
by board-certified interventional cardiologists practicing
in our community. Many of these physicians also perform
these procedures at the Manhasset and Long Island Jewish
campuses of the North Shore –LIJ Health System. Consistent
with our philosophy of ongoing growth and improvement,
plans are currently underway to initiate a wider range
of procedures including elective angioplasty, peripheral
artery procedures and interventions.
