Get to know Cardiologist Dr. Elizabeth C. Muss, who serves patients in New York, New York.

Dr. Muss, one of approximately 20 female adult cardiologists in private solo practice in New York City, is a strong advocate of education for a healthy heart. This translates to prevention beginning at the age of 18-20 as an adult, which is the reason behind why she practices primary care in addition to her specialty of cardiology. It turns out that 90% of the “primary care” patients are cardiac with hypertension, high cholesterol, and are either overweight or smoke.

Having been in practice for over three decades, Dr. Muss holds the teaching appointment of Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. She is also an Assistant Attending Physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, an Associate Attending Physician at MT Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, and a Cardiac Consultant at Hospital for Special Surgery.

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began after she earned her medical degree from New York Medical College in 1968. She then went on to complete her internship: 6 months internal medicine and 6 months Pediatrics and was accepted to a pediatric neurology residency program at Boston City hospital. However, Dr. Muss during the pediatric component of her internship, she spent all her spare time in the adult ER.

In May, at the end of her the pediatrics portion of her internship, Dr. Muss realized that research was not for her but rather clinical emergency medicine. Thus, she changed her direction to adult cardiology, and joined Mount Sinai Beth Israel.

Subsequently, she completed one year of fellowship training in cardiology at the Manhattan VA for one year, followed by two years at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University Medical College.

Passionate about her profession, the doctor is board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), she is a member of the New York Cardiological Society, the American College of Physicians, the Medical Society of the State of New York, and the New York County Medical Society.

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).

On a more personal note, Dr. Muss enjoys horseback riding, playing golf, and dancing. Up until she broke her shoulder, she enjoyed ice skating. She is fluent in both English and Hebrew.
