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 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 and echo are performed during or shortly after the visit, so the cardiologist sees the heart's structure and function in real time and answers in one visit. The findings determine whether Holter monitoring, a stress test, electrical mapping or further imaging is needed, and a treatment plan is set.
Echocardiogram on site
An echocardiogram (echo) is an ultrasound of the heart. At EliteMed it is performed for adults and children at the center itself; fetal echo is carried out with the women's health service.
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 with echo on site, atrial fibrillation or heart failure patients wanting senior-level care, and parents and expectant mothers needing pediatric cardiology or a fetal echo. 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, including pediatric echo, by senior specialists, with clear parent guidance on what is safe and what needs follow-up.
Fetal Echo (Prenatal)
A focused scan of the fetal heart's structure and function during pregnancy, for early detection of heart defects when there is a family indication, an anatomy scan finding or a maternal condition, together with the women's health service.
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 echo follow-up 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, echo, prolonged monitoring and electrical mapping where needed.
Valvular Disease
Monitoring of valve stenosis or regurgitation with periodic echo, 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. No fasting is needed before an echo. You leave with a written summary of the findings, echo results 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.

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 and echo and decides on Holter monitoring or electrical mapping.
Yes. An echocardiogram (echo) is an ultrasound of the heart, performed at EliteMed in Modi'in for adults and children, during or right after the consultation. 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; a pediatric echo at the center confirms this in one visit.
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. EliteMed performs it with the women's health service.
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 (consultation, echocardiogram, pediatric or fetal echo). Consultations and tests qualify as private specialist consultations, reimbursable under most private policies and health-fund supplementary plans, subject to policy terms. An invoice and medical summary are provided.
