Valvular and Structural Heart Disease

What We Treat

At Einstein Heart and Vascular Institute’s comprehensive Valvular and Structural Heart Disease Program, we treat structural heart and valvular disease, including conditions characterized by valvular dysfunction, congenital defects, or structural changes caused by genetic factors or chronic disease.

Our advanced treatment procedures include minimally invasive and catheter-based procedures. Patients can expect personalized, timely care delivered by experts in valvular and structural heart disease.

Coordinated, Convenient, and Timely Care

When you call Einstein Heart and Vascular Institute, your initial contact will be with a coordinator who will organize your care across the institute and our entire system. We will contact you and your provider, review your history, and help you schedule appointments and testing, which may include CT scan, echocardiography, angiography and functional testing, among others.

We offer appointments within one week, and you will be evaluated by both a cardiologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon. This will help streamline your care by eliminating the need for multiple appointments. Our Valvular and Structural Heart Team meets regularly to review each patient’s treatment plan and our comprehensive program offers access to electrophysiology, vascular surgery, advanced imaging and other services to ensure your care is coordinated and help you achieve your best possible outcome.
