Interdisciplinary Departments This newest department at Deborah Heart and Lung Center offers patients the full spectrum of preventive, diagnostic, interventional and surgical treatment options. This is accomplished within a multidisciplinary framework of cardiologists, radiologists, interventionalists and surgeons working together to determine the best options for each patient.
The program was expanded to accommodate the growing number of vascular patients coming to Deborah, and to raise awareness of the significant relationship between heart disease and vascular disease.
Early detection and appropriate treatment of

A seamless approach to the treatment of vascular disease, with the participation of radiologists, cardiologists and vascular surgeons, forms the basis for a cohesive decision-making process that allows for the integrated delivery of vascular and cardiac care.
