Our cardiovascular program is growing to serve you
Maybe you need a cardiologist to help you manage an ongoing heart problem. Or perhaps you need a heart or blood vessel procedure. You can get the latest in heart and vascular care from physicians with experience and compassion right here at Nazareth Hospital.
Whether you have a circulation problem, a weakened heart or a condition involving your heart’s electrical system, our cardiovascular experts are ready to help.
Expanding care
Nazareth Hospital offers a growing list of heart and blood vessel treatments. Here are some of the advanced treatments being performed at Nazareth:
- Pacemaker and cardioverter defibrillator implants to correct or prevent irregular heartbeats.
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy for people with heart failure and problems with their heart’s rhythm.
- Leadless pacemakers. These may last longer and have a lower infection risk than standard pacemakers with wire leads.
- Procedures that open blocked arteries in people having heart attacks and in those with heart or leg artery disease.
- Treatments for blood clots of the legs (deep-vein thrombosis) and the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- Radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins.
Another reason to choose Nazareth Hospital for cardiovascular care? The doctors have deep ties to the community. They will give you personalized care whether you are having a procedure or coming in for an office visit.
“We give people the time and care they deserve,” says electrophysiologist Karim Nathan, MD.
What’s more, Nazareth provides care that meets or exceeds national standards. That’s evidenced by recent national recognitions for heart attack and heart failure care.
“At Nazareth, we pride ourselves in providing the best cardiovascular care to the community around us,” says cardiologist Sunil Dhar, MD. “There is no reason to go anywhere else.”
Training for the future
A new fellowship program is another point of pride at Nazareth. It helps teach the next generation of heart specialists.
“It allows us to teach new trainees and, in doing so, shore up our skills as well,” Dr. Nathan says.
