Advanced Cardiology Practice

What Advanced Cardiology Practice does

Advanced Cardiology Practice is a private, multi-physician cardiology group headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey, operating four office locations across Wayne, Clifton, and Oakland with the main office co-located on the St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital campus. The practice is staffed by eight board-certified cardiologists with subspecialties spanning interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology, women's cardiac care, and vein treatment, supported by clinical and administrative staff in the 11-50 employee range. Patient care spans the full cardiovascular continuum — diagnostic testing (EKG, echocardiogram, stress and nuclear stress testing, Holter and event monitoring, ABI), interventional procedures (cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, stenting), device services (pacemaker and defibrillator implantation and clinic-based follow-up), therapeutic options (EECP, cardioversion), and a dedicated Vein Center offering sclerotherapy and in-office vascular laser therapy. Technology footprint is limited to a modern electronic medical records system enabling remote record access and a COVID-era virtual visit channel.

The business model is professional services billing against insurance carriers with patient responsibility for co-pays or percentage-of-bill per individual contract. Patient acquisition is sales-led via direct appointment scheduling, primary-care physician referrals, and inbound referral support for insurance plans that require them; the practice maintains physician referral relationships through privileges and Director-level appointments at St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital, St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center, Chilton Memorial, and The Valley Hospital. Marketing presence is organic social (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and the practice website.

The practice was originally founded in 1995 by Dr. Rex Ghassemi as Cardiology Consultants of North Jersey and rebranded to its current name in 2009; physicians have been added steadily through 2012, and the entity remains physician-controlled with no disclosed parent company, private equity sponsor, or external institutional investor.

Products and services

• Advanced Cardiology Practice (comprehensive cardiovascular care) Comprehensive cardiovascular, venous, and arterial care for adult patients across Wayne, Clifton, and Oakland, NJ, including diagnostics, interventional procedures, and ongoing management of heart and vascular conditions.
• The Vein Center Specialized center under Dr. Ghassemi focusing on laser treatment of varicose veins and management of spider veins and venous disorders.
• Cardiac Catheterization / Coronary Angiogram Invasive imaging procedure using catheter insertion and x-ray with contrast dye to evaluate heart disease, valve disease, and aorta conditions in adult patients.
• Interventional Procedures (Angioplasty and Stenting) Interventional procedures including lower extremity, carotid, and renal angioplasties, laser angioplasty, and angioplasty with stenting to open narrowed arteries in adult patients.
• Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) Advanced echocardiographic imaging using a transesophageal scope to obtain clearer heart images when standard echocardiogram is inconclusive.
• EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) Non-invasive therapy program that promotes blood circulation to the heart as an alternative for patients who are not candidates for angioplasty or bypass.
• Cardioversion Non-surgical procedure that uses electrical current to convert an irregular heartbeat to a normal, regular rhythm.
• Pacemaker Implantation and Follow-up Pacemaker implantation and ongoing care, including periodic checking and threshold testing through the Pacemakers and Defibrillators Clinic.
• Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation and Follow-up Internal cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation and follow-up services to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias.
• Vascular Laser Therapy Office-based laser treatment for varicose veins involving insertion of a laser fiber into the diseased vein to close it, typically completed in under one hour.
• Sclerotherapy Injection treatment for spider veins and smaller varicose veins in which a liquid sclerosing agent seals shut the diseased vein.
• Arterial Brachial Index (ABI) Test Non-invasive test using a blood pressure cuff and Doppler ultrasound to detect poor circulation in the lower legs caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
• 24-Hour Holter Monitoring Portable EKG monitoring of the heart's electrical activity for one to two days to detect abnormal heart rhythms or ischemia.
• Cardiac Event Recording / Monitoring Cardiac event monitor device worn on the chest for up to 30 days to detect and record abnormal heart rhythms when symptoms occur.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG) Test that records heart rate, rhythm, and electrical signal timing across 12 different points on the body to diagnose heart problems.
• Echocardiogram Ultrasound imaging of the heart using sound waves to produce detailed moving pictures without radiation exposure.
• Stress Testing Treadmill-based test that monitors the heart's reaction to exercise with ECG and blood pressure readings to identify causes of chest pain and assess exercise capacity.
• Nuclear Stress Testing Advanced imaging test using radioactive dye injection to show blood flow to the heart at rest and during activity, providing greater accuracy than standard stress testing.
• Stress Echocardiogram Combined echocardiogram and treadmill stress test that examines heart function during both rest and exercise periods.
• Pharmacologic Stress Test Non-exercise test that uses medication to increase heart rate and force, combined with echocardiography, to detect coronary artery disease in patients unable to exercise.
• Pacemakers and Defibrillators Clinic Follow-up clinic for pacemaker and defibrillator patients providing threshold testing, transtelephonic monitoring, and routine device checks.
• Virtual Cardiology Visits Telemedicine appointments offering remote cardiac consultations to provide quality care while limiting in-person exposure.

Others

• St. Joseph's Health Medical Group (Cardiology): Physician group affiliated with the same St. Joseph's Health system that Advanced Cardiology Practice partners with. Provides insight into how the host system organizes employed cardiology and the competitive dynamics within the network.

Broad incumbents

• Atlantic Medical Group Cardiology: Large multi-specialty group owned by Atlantic Health System operating across northern New Jersey. Overlaps on cardiology services but is part of a much broader ambulatory network.
• RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group Cardiology: Large New Jersey health system with employed cardiology practices statewide, including at St. Barnabas and Newark Beth Israel. Functions as a system-affiliated alternative to independent cardiology groups.
• Englewood Health Heart & Vascular Institute: Regional health system offering comprehensive cardiac services including interventional and structural heart care. Comparable in specialty breadth but operates as part of a broader hospital network.
