When to see a private cardiologist
A healthy heart is not something you feel, so most visits begin with a new symptom or a finding on a routine test. Telling an anxiety-driven racing pulse from a true arrhythmia, or an innocent murmur from a defect, takes a specialist. Book a consultation for:
- Palpitations or a fast or irregular pulse, especially if recurrent or with dizziness.
- Unexplained fainting or near-fainting, particularly on exertion or while seated.
- Chest pain or pressure on exertion, worsening breathlessness, or reduced exercise capacity.
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure, or heart failure or an enlarged chamber found on a test.
- Atrial fibrillation and a decision about blood thinners, medication or ablation.
- A pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD) needing follow-up, or an opinion before implantation.
- Known valve disease that needs monitoring and correctly timed intervention.
- A family history of sudden death, cardiomyopathy or heart disease at a young age.
- Children: a murmur heard by the pediatrician, chest pain on exertion, fainting or a fast heartbeat.
- In pregnancy: a family history of heart defects, an anatomy scan finding or diabetes, calling for a referral for a fetal echo.
- A second opinion before catheterization, ablation or heart surgery.
Chest pain lasting more than a few minutes, acute breathlessness or a faint with injury mean calling Magen David Adom (101) or going to the emergency room, not a scheduled consultation.
What the consultation at EliteMed includes
The consultation begins with a detailed history of your symptoms, family history and medications, and a physical examination. In most cases an ECG is performed during or shortly after the visit. The cardiologist refers you for an echocardiogram when needed and reviews the results. The findings determine whether Holter monitoring, a stress test, electrical mapping or further imaging is needed, and a treatment plan is set.
Referral for an echocardiogram
An echocardiogram (echo) is an ultrasound of the heart. It is not performed at the center: the cardiologist refers you for an echocardiogram when needed and reviews the results.
What sets the center apart:
- Senior physicians only. Prof. Yitzhak Biton, Deputy Director of the Heart Institute at Hadassah, and Dr. Maxim Zaberan, senior cardiologist from Sheba, see patients personally.
- No public-system waiting lists. Appointments are usually available within days; for new symptoms such as an irregular pulse or a faint there is an urgent track within 24-48 hours.
- No referral needed. A private consultation requires no referral or Form 17 (Tofes 17, the health-fund voucher).
- A multi-specialty center. Resistant hypertension is managed with nephrology, diabetes with endocrinology, and pre-operative assessment with geriatrics and surgery, in one building.
- Insurance. Consultations and tests qualify as private specialist consultations, reimbursable under most private policies (Harel, Phoenix, Menora and others) and health-fund supplementary plans (Shaban), subject to policy terms.
Who this suits: anyone seeking a private cardiologist in Modi'in, atrial fibrillation or heart failure patients wanting senior-level care, and parents needing pediatric cardiology. Serves Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut, Shoham, Hashmonaim, Beit Shemesh and Rishon LeZion.
Cardiac & Pediatric Cardiology Specialties
Pediatric Cardiology
Diagnosis and management of congenital heart defects, murmurs, arrhythmias and chest pain in infants and children, by senior specialists, with clear parent guidance on what is safe and what needs follow-up.
Electrophysiology
Investigation of palpitations, blackouts and arrhythmias using monitoring and electrical mapping, and a decision on whether medication, ablation or a device is needed.
AFib Management
Atrial fibrillation care: assessing stroke risk and deciding on anticoagulants, rate control or restoring sinus rhythm, and referral for ablation when appropriate, to prevent vascular complications.
Heart Failure Hub
Guideline-based medication optimization, cardio-renal (heart and kidney) monitoring and follow-up of echocardiogram results for patients with reduced ventricular function, managed by senior physicians.
Pacemaker & ICD Tracking
Follow-up of patients with a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator, and an expert opinion before implantation, to confirm the device is necessary and correctly matched.
Syncope Evaluation
A comprehensive work-up of dizziness and loss of consciousness, separating cardiac from non-cardiac causes, using ECG, prolonged monitoring and electrical mapping where needed, with a referral for an echocardiogram when required.
Valvular Disease
Monitoring of valve stenosis or regurgitation based on periodic echocardiograms the cardiologist refers you for, and setting the right timing for intervention (catheter-based or surgical) before irreversible damage to the heart muscle.
Cardiac Second Opinions
An expert review before catheterization, ablation, device implantation or heart surgery, in adults and children, to confirm the need and examine alternatives.
Preparing for your visit and what happens afterwards
Bring previous ECG, echo, Holter or stress test reports, recent blood tests (including lipids and glucose) and a medication list. If a smartwatch recorded your symptoms, bring the readings. You leave with a written summary of the findings and recommendations: a medication change, Holter monitoring, a stress test, referral for catheterization or electrophysiology at the hospital, or periodic follow-up. With your consent it also goes to your family doctor, so blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol care stays coordinated.
Cardiologist in Modi'in: what a consultation with a senior cardiologist includes
People looking for a cardiologist in Modi'in usually come after a new symptom, palpitations, fainting, breathlessness on exertion, or after a finding on a routine test: blood pressure that will not settle, a murmur in a child, an abnormal ECG. At EliteMed, at the Ayala 360 Center, senior cardiologists from Hadassah and Sheba see patients, and an appointment is usually available within days, with no referral. For new symptoms such as an irregular pulse or a faint there is an urgent track within 24 to 48 hours.
The consultation is with a senior cardiologist, and an ECG is performed during or shortly after the visit. The cardiologist refers you for an echocardiogram when needed and reviews the results. The findings determine whether Holter monitoring, a stress test or electrical mapping is needed.
The service covers the heart across life: arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation, including the decision on blood thinners and ablation, heart failure and medication optimisation, valve disease and the correct timing of intervention, pacemaker and ICD follow-up, syncope evaluation, and pediatric cardiology and murmurs. A second opinion before catheterisation, ablation or heart surgery is a routine part of the work, meant to confirm the need or suggest an alternative or different timing.
Bring a previous ECG, echo or Holter reports, recent blood tests and a medication list, and smartwatch recordings if you have them. You leave with a written summary that is sent, with your consent, to your family doctor so that blood pressure, diabetes and lipid care stays coordinated. The consultation is recognised as a private specialist consultation by most insurance policies and supplementary plans, subject to policy terms.
The work-up continues in the same building when the picture is wider: fainting and dizziness that are not cardiac are assessed by a private neurologist in Modi'in, cardiac questions in pregnancy with a private gynecologist in Modi'in, murmurs and chest pain in children with the pediatric specialists in Modi'in, and return to work after a cardiac event with an opinion from the occupational medicine specialist in Modi'in.

Medical FAQ & Pediatric Heart Guidance
When palpitations recur, last more than a few minutes, appear at rest, or come with dizziness, breathlessness, chest pain or fainting. An irregular pulse on a smartwatch or blood pressure monitor also justifies a check. The cardiologist performs an ECG, refers you for an echocardiogram when needed and decides on Holter monitoring or electrical mapping.
An echocardiogram (echo) is an ultrasound of the heart. It is not performed at the center: the cardiologist refers you for an echocardiogram when needed and reviews the results. It shows the heart's structure and the function of the ventricles and valves, helping diagnose heart failure, valve disease, congenital defects and enlarged chambers. It is painless and radiation-free.
When the pediatrician has heard a murmur, when the child has chest pain or a racing heart on exertion, after a faint, or with a family history of heart defects or sudden death at a young age. Most murmurs in children are innocent. The cardiologist refers the child for an echocardiogram when needed and reviews the results with the parents.
A fetal echo is a focused specialist ultrasound of the unborn baby's heart, examining its structure and function during pregnancy. It is recommended for a family history of heart defects, a suspicious anatomy scan finding, maternal diabetes, pregnancy after fertility treatment or certain medications. It is not performed at EliteMed. The physician refers you for it when needed and reviews the results.
When you have recurrent palpitations, unexplained blackouts, an arrhythmia documented on an ECG or Holter, or atrial fibrillation needing a decision about ablation or a device. An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist specializing in the heart's electrical system; the consultation also suits poorly controlled patients on antiarrhythmic drugs.
Yes, especially for an elective procedure: valve replacement, ablation, pacemaker implantation or bypass surgery. A senior cardiologist reviews the imaging, previous catheterization and your symptoms, and confirms the need or suggests an alternative or different timing. This helps you reach a considered decision and understand the risks and benefits.
The fee is given when you book, before the visit, and depends on the appointment type and tests.
