Heart Failure and Transplantation Program
When your heart is not getting enough oxygen, and cannot pump enough blood to meet your body’s needs, you might be experiencing heart failure. Many heart failure patients have some other medical issue that makes it difficult for their heart to function properly. Often, it is another heart condition.
Every heart failure patient is different. That’s why the heart failure program at Mount Sinai Morningside develops an individualized treatment plan to meet your specific needs. Your plan will take into account the stage of your disease as well as any other medical conditions you may have. When appropriate, we work as a team with other heart care specialists. In addition, we also work with a variety of other specialists including:

Cardiology Amyloid Clinic
Amyloidosis is a disease that occurs when proteins break down into a substance known as amyloid which builds up in tissues and organs and interferes with their function. Deposits of amyloid in the heart cause the disease known as cardiac amyloidosis. As the deposits increase, the heart gets increasingly stiff and the pumping function gets weaker. There are several types of amyloidosis which are derived from different proteins. It is extremely important to determine the specific type of amyloid causing the disease, because each type of amyloidosis progresses at a different rate, and the treatment differs greatly for each form. Amyloid can affect many organs of the body simultaneously, and the cardiology amyloidosis specialist will work with other specialists as needed. Some forms of cardiac amyloidosis are hereditary, and Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital offers cardiovascular genetics testing and counseling for patients with this form of amyloidosis.
