It is a well-known fact that the heart is the most important and hardest-working muscle in the body. In fact, an adult’s heart beats about 100,000 times per day and pumps about five quarts of blood through the body every minute.
At NJ Cardiovascular Institute, we understand how important it is to keep this vital muscle healthy and strong. That’s why we offer our Heart Smart Program, a comprehensive program centered around preventive and continued care for the heart and its conditions.
