Cardiology
Cardiac Catheterization
This diagnostic medical procedure offers a highly accurate way to check the chambers of the heart and to measure blood flow in the coronary arteries.
Coney Island Hospital has recently upgraded our Cardiac Catheterization suite with a new state-of-the-art Philips Allura C digital X-ray imaging system.
Digital coronary angiography provides the cardiologist with instantaneous review and comprehensive analysis of cardiac anatomy and cardiac structures during the procedure. Films, chemistry, projectors and all the associated maintenance involved are virtually eliminated.
For patients it means up to a 30 to 50 percent reduction in radiation levels, earlier diagnosis, which leads to speedier treatment and more rapid discharge.
Cardiac Stress Testing
Our board-certified cardiologists perform these tests under strict guidelines and according to the clinical protocols. We provide patients who cannot walk on a treadmill with an alternative stress test that they can take lying down.

Coney Island Hospital takes pride in its Cardiac Diagnostic Center, with board-certified cardiologists available for consultations.
Now, we have added a modern Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center to help cardiac patients and those with pulmonary disease regain and maintain an optimal level of functioning. Rehabilitation is centered on a medically supervised, graded exercise-training program.
