Cardiovascular Rescue and Recovery Program

The Atlantic Health Cardiovascular Rescue and Recovery Program at Morristown Medical Center offers the highest quality of care for patients with coronary artery disease, myocardial disease, cardiogenic shock, as well as patients who require conventional or complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) . We use a multidisciplinary team approach to deliver a variety of  procedures. 

Our Expertise

Patients with severe and complicated cardiac issues often require multiple teams of experts to work together to support their recovery.  Our dedicated team assesses all patients and referrals, including those seeking second opinions, with a goal of delivering personalized and focused treatment plans.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

In addition to providing optimal stenting for those with commonly seen coronary artery disease, our interventional cardiologists are experts in percutaneous treatment of patients with complex coronary diseases (CHIP) and chronic total occlusions (CTO), also described as complete blockage of the coronary arteries.

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when heart function is compromised, and the heart is no longer able to sustain adequate blood flow to the vital organs. We have a dedicated and highly specialized team available 24/7 to rapidly triage and treat patients who develop cardiogenic shock at our medical center and other regional hospitals.  Learn More>
