Advanced Heart Failure/Cardiomyopathy Program
Cardiomyopathy is a term used for any disease of the heart muscle that
affects the heart’s ability to pump normally. It is one of the many
causes of a condition known as heart failure (heart is unable to keep
up with its normal demands).
The Advanced Heart Failure/Cardiomyopathy Program at RWJBarnabas Health provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient clinical services to adults with cardiomyopathy and heart failure, from diagnosis to cardiac catheterization and innovative medical and device-based treatments. Available at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital – New Brunswick, our program is able to offer comprehensive and compassionate care, which has been shown to deliver the best possible outcomes for each and every patient.
