  • Preventive cardiology and cholesterol management
  • Interventional procedures such as stenting, angioplasty, and valve repair
  • Heart rhythm management, including ablation and device therapy (pacemakers, ICDs)
  • Heart failure and cardiomyopathy care, including advanced medication and device therapy
  • Rehabilitation and lifestyle counseling for long-term cardiovascular wellness

Conditions We Treat

At The Medical Group of New Jersey, our board-certified cardiologists diagnose, treat, and help prevent the full spectrum of heart and vascular diseases. Below you’ll find brief overviews of our most common conditions, each linking to a detailed Clinical Patient Journey that explains symptoms, testing, treatment, and recovery so you will know what to expect at each step.

Hypertension
High blood pressure often causes no symptoms for years but silently damages arteries, increasing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Our team provides individualized plans combining lifestyle changes and medication management, with regular monitoring to maintain safe and stable blood pressure.

Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease develops when plaque narrows the heart’s arteries, reducing blood flow and triggering chest pain or shortness of breath. We use advanced stress testing and cardiac catheterization to diagnose blockages and provide tailored therapy, ranging from medications and stents to coronary bypass surgery, along with long-term prevention strategies.

Heart Failure
When the heart becomes weak or stiff, it can’t pump blood efficiently, leading to fatigue, swelling, or shortness of breath. Our cardiologists determine the cause through echocardiography and lab tests, then design evidence-based, personalized treatment using medications, SGLT2 inhibitors, and, when needed, devices or transplant referral.

Arrhythmias
Irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia may cause palpitations, dizziness, or fainting. We perform ECG and Holter monitoring to pinpoint the rhythm problem and offer medications, catheter ablation, or pacemaker/defibrillator therapy to restore safe heart rhythm and reduce stroke risk.

Valvular Heart Disease
Heart valve narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation) can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, or chest discomfort. Echocardiography identifies the affected valve, and treatment ranges from medical symptom control to minimally invasive or surgical valve repair or replacement, restoring healthy blood flow through the heart.

Hyperlipidemia
High cholesterol or triglycerides often show no symptoms until plaque buildup occurs. We use lipid testing to identify risk early and guide treatment with statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and nutrition counseling to protect your heart and vascular health.

Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathies, dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive, affect the heart muscle itself, leading to weakness or abnormal thickening. Our specialists use echocardiograms, cardiac MRI, and genetic evaluation to tailor therapy that may include medications, ICD placement, or transplant evaluation in advanced cases.

Peripheral Vascular Disease
Poor circulation in the leg arteries can cause cramping, numbness, or non-healing wounds. We diagnose using ankle-brachial index and vascular imaging, then recommend exercise programs, medications, or minimally invasive stent procedures to restore blood flow, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility.

Congenital Heart Disease
Some adults live with or newly discover congenital heart defects such as ASD, VSD, or bicuspid aortic valve. Our cardiologists coordinate imaging, monitoring, and, when appropriate, catheter-based or surgical repair, ensuring seamless transition from pediatric to adult cardiac care.

Pericardial Disease
Inflammation or fluid around the heart can cause sharp chest pain or shortness of breath. We confirm diagnosis with echocardiography and manage inflammation using medication, drainage when necessary, and close follow-up to prevent recurrence or constriction.
