Trinitas maintains a full-service cardiac facility as well as facilities for the intensive nursing care of patients with cardiac disease. These include a cardiac care unit, intermediate coronary care unit, cardiac catheterization lab, non-invasive cardiology services, full-service emergency department, and cardiac rehabilitation services.

Recently, Trinitas Hospital began providing elective angioplasty procedures following approval by the New Jersey Commissioner of Health & Senior Services. Trinitas is one of nine New Jersey hospitals participating in the Johns Hopkins Atlantic C-PORT study that will determine the effectiveness of elective angioplasty procedures in hospitals without cardiac surgery.

The spacious and modern Diagnostic Center provides a convenient, all-in-one facility for inpatient and outpatient testing including echocardiograms, nuclear stress testing, electrocardiograms, electroencephlagrams, holter monitoring, pacemaker evaluations, vascular studies, muga scans and pulmonary function tests.
