Chinatown Cardiology, P.C. is a private, physician-owned cardiology practice headquartered at 139 Centre Street in Manhattan's Chinatown, founded in 1996. The firm operates four office locations across the New York City metropolitan area (Chinatown, Upper West Side, Brooklyn, and Flushing) and employs a team of nine cardiologists trained at NYC's top medical institutions, with subspecialty coverage spanning general cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and vascular medicine. The practice is led by Dr. Tak W. Kwan, who also serves as Chief of Cardiology at Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital and Clinical Professor at the Zucker School of Medicine.

The practice delivers a full continuum of cardiovascular and vascular diagnostic and treatment services, including echocardiography, EKG, Holter and event monitoring, cardiac stress testing, cardiac PET, coronary CT angiography with Cleerly analysis software, and cardiac CT calcium scoring on the diagnostic side, and cardiac catheterization, angioplasty/stenting, valvuloplasty, ASD/PFO closure, pacemaker/ICD insertion, EP studies and ablation, endovenous ablation, and peripheral angiography/angioplasty/stenting on the procedural side. Its non-invasive laboratories hold ICAEL, ACR, and ICANL accreditations, and it operates a QUADA-accredited office-based peripheral catheterization laboratory. Cardiologists also hold privileges at Lenox Hill Hospital, Mount Sinai St. Luke's, and NYU Langone Medical Center for hospital-based procedures including TAVR. The practice offers 24/7 emergency response for acute myocardial infarction and advanced arrhythmias.

Revenue is generated through professional medical services billed to insurance and patient cost-share under a fee-for-service model. The practice accepts a broad payer mix including Medicare, straight Medicaid, MetroPlus, Affinity, BCBS HMO, Emblem HIP/GHI, Fidelis, HealthFirst, United Healthcare, VNS, and Wellcare, with copays, coinsurance, and deductibles collected from patients per plan terms.

Products and services

• Cardiac Diagnostic Studies Noninvasive cardiac diagnostics including echocardiography (heart ultrasound to assess size, shape and pumping capacity), electrocardiogram (EKG) for rate/rhythm/chamber analysis, Holter monitoring for 12–48-hour arrhythmia surveillance, cardiac stress testing (treadmill or pharmacologic), cardiac PET for perfusion imaging, mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry and tilt table testing for syncope evaluation; available to adult patients referred for cardiovascular evaluation.
• Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with Calcium Scoring Noninvasive CT-based coronary imaging that identifies plaque buildup in coronary arteries, with CCTA results analyzed through Cleerly software and separate cardiac CT calcium scoring to quantify calcified plaque and heart attack/stroke risk; intended for patients needing preventive cardiac risk assessment or noninvasive evaluation of coronary anatomy.
• Vascular Diagnostic Studies ACR-accredited noninvasive vascular ultrasound studies including carotid artery Doppler-duplex ultrasound for carotid stenosis/plaque, abdominal aortic Doppler to detect abdominal aortic aneurysm, renal artery Doppler for kidney-related vascular issues, peripheral Doppler of upper and lower extremities for peripheral artery disease, and venous mapping to evaluate venous insufficiency and guide varicose vein treatment; delivered to patients with suspected vascular disease.
• Interventional Cardiac Procedures Hospital- and office-based interventional cardiac procedures for adult cardiology patients: diagnostic cardiac catheterization with coronary angiography, balloon angioplasty and stent placement to open blocked arteries, balloon mitral valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis, and catheter-based closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) using an umbrella-like device.
• Electrophysiology Services Cardiac rhythm management services including catheter-based electrophysiology (EP) studies to characterize arrhythmias and guide treatment, surgical implantation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), battery/generator replacement procedures, and continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring via the LINQ implantable cardiac monitor; provided to patients with arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, syncope or risk of sudden cardiac death.
• Vascular Procedures (Office-Based) Minimally invasive vascular procedures performed in the QUADA-ac outpatient peripheral cath lab, including endovenous radiofrequency ablation therapy for varicose veins and catheter-based peripheral angiography, angioplasty and stenting to diagnose and treat peripheral artery blockages; offered to patients with varicose veins, venous insufficiency or peripheral artery disease.
• 24/7 Emergency Cardiac Care Round-the-clock emergency cardiology coverage for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and advanced arrhythmia care, with hospital-based procedures delivered at affiliated institutions including Lenox Hill Hospital, Mount Sinai St. Luke's and NYU Langone Medical Center.
