Dr. Jonathon Bella, Chief, Division of Cardiology, is at the forefront in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Dr. Bella and the Division of Cardiology's inpatient and outpatient facilities provide high-quality, state-of-the-art services to manage coronary heart disease and treat heart attacks, heart failure, and abnormal heart rhythms.

The Division of Cardiology now includes Coronary Intensive Care Unit and Telemetry Units,as well as an Angioplasty/PCI (Percutanous Coronary Intervention) program that offers patients emergent and elective non-surgical options in the treatment of coronary heart disease, and a Heart Failure initiative aimed at improving quality of life in heart failure patients.

A new Arrhythmia Service is also providing care and treatment to patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat) and other complex heart rhythm problems. It offers implantation of permanent pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac deaths. Dr. Bella and his experienced team also provide Echocardiography and Nuclear Stress Testing Laboratories, internationally recognized for their high quality of care.

Dr. Bella received his medical degree at the University of the East in the Philippines. He subsequently completed his residency at Montefiore Hospital and Cardiology Fellowship at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
