Heart disease remains the number one cause of mortality in the United States, and with the aging population, the demand for cardiology services is continuously increasing. With advances in cardiovascular care over the past 20 years, we have seen substantial improvements in treatment of high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, heart attacks, heart failure, and dangerous heart rhythms. All of these advances demand that our program at Temple provide the most recent therapies delivered by skilled cardiologists who specialize in all the various aspects of cardiology. Our cardiology program at Temple is recognized as one of the top programs in the region. We currently have 22 cardiologists on our staff, and provide a full range of services for diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
