No matter how tough you are, heart conditions are frightening. It’s nice to know you’ll be cared for by a team of cardiologists, diagnosticians, surgeons, and nurses who will treat your case on an individual basis, caring for you as if you are family. Below is a list of conditions treated by the Einstein Heart and Vascular Department.
Congenital heart disease stems from an abnormality present at birth. While some conditions require immediate surgery on a newborn, it is possible that some patients don’t know about their conditions until well into adulthood. Adult congenital heart conditions include:
- Atrial septal defect
- Bicuspid aortic valve disease
- Anomalous pulmonary venous return
- Ventricular septal defect
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Interventional cardiology is the practice of using cardiac catheterization (a minimally invasive procedure) to diagnose and treat many types of heart and vascular diseases. These treatments are often used as an alternative to heart surgery, and generally have less risk of complication and shorter recovery times. Interventional cardiology procedures can be used to treat the following:
- Atherosclerosis
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart rhythm conditions
- Heart valve conditions
- Peripheral artery disease (pad)
- Venous insufficiency
Learn More
When your veins do not effectively return blood to your heart, pain, swelling and blot clots can result that can be serious and life-threatening. At Einstein, our board-certified vascular specialists are experts at treating a full range of venous conditions, including:
- Chronic venous thrombosis
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Spider veins
- Varicose veins
- Venous ulcers
- Venous insufficiency
