Cardiac and Thoracic Care

Our physicians treat a wide range of cardiac conditions, including the following:

• aortic aneurysm, including aortic root aneurysm
• aortic dissection
• aortic valve disease, including aortic valve insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis
• atrial septic defect, or an opening in the upper chambers of the heart
• cardiac myxoma, or tumor
• coronary artery disease
• heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter, bradycardia, genetic heart rhythm disorders, ventricular arrhythmias, and supraventricular arrhythmias
• hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• mitral valve disease, including mitral valve regurgitation

Doctors at NYU Langone Cardiothoracic Surgery Associates—Garden City also treat a variety of conditions affecting the lungs, esophagus, and chest cavity, including the following:
