The Einstein Institute for Heart and Vascular Health includes a state-of-the-art digital catheterization laboratory and outpatient cardiac center.  The facility also includes a 16-bed coronary care unit (CCU), an eight bed CICU (post-angioplasty patients), four permanent cardiac catheterization laboratories, two state-of-the-art electrophysiology laboratories (the second new lab has biplane fluoroscopy, intracardiac echocardiography, Carto and ESI three-dimensional mapping systems), two stress ECG laboratories, state-of-the-art SPECT nuclear technology, three diagnostic echocardiography laboratories, and a cardiac CT/MRI unit.

In addition, three cardiovascular surgical operating suites are available and a separate post-operative heart surgical unit (HSU).  A dedicated color flow, two-dimensional echo machine with transesophageal echocardiography capabilities is currently stationed in the operating room.  In addition, intravascular ultrasound capability is present in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Based on the 2006-2007 academic year, the following procedures were performed annually at the Albert Einstein Heart Center:

  • 1,994 diagnostic catheterizations
  • 497 percutaneous interventional procedures including PTCA's, rotational arthrectomy, directional arthrectomy and stents
  • 862 electrophysiology lab procedures
  • 4,785 nuclear stress tests
  • 8,835 transthoracic echoes
  • 517 transesophageal echoes
  • 50,222 electrocardiograms
