ST. JOSEPH’S HEALTH CARDIOLOGY
OUR TEAM-BASED APPROACH MEANS MORE COMPREHENSIVE CARE
We approach every case as a unified team, ensuring that each patient receives the widest range of resources and expertise.
By working together across disciplines, we’re able to offer our patients the utmost continuity throughout the course of their treatment. From the first medical exam to interventional and electrophysiology, all the way to cardiac surgery, our patients receive care under one roof by one team.
This broad offering also gives our cardiologists more options for tailoring treatment to each individual, knowing that every step in each person’s care will be handled by the best in Central New York — or even the best in the nation.
MEDICAL CARDIOLOGY
LESS INVASIVE HEART CARE
Our medical cardiologists identify heart problems without using any needles, fluids or other instruments that require insertion into the body. Less-invasive diagnostics can mean a more comfortable patient experience. Our goal is to help you to understand your illness, so you can be an active participant in your own care.
INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY
MORE EXPERIENCE MEANS BETTER OUTCOMES
We use catheter-based or minimally invasive surgery to identify or treat coronary abnormalities with less risk and shorter recovery. Annually, we perform the largest volume of interventional cardiology procedures outside of New York City* and 4X as many as any other Syracuse hospital.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
YOUR HEART RHYTHM SPECIALISTS
Our electrophysiologists study the electrical activity of your heart to find where an arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) is coming from. Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective care. And because we perform more than 1,700 electrophysiology procedures, 250 radio frequency ablations and 350 implantable cardioverter defibrillators annually, you know you’re in the best of hands.
