Harvey Snyder, MD, a pioneering cardiologist, has died at age 75, according to an obituary published in The Philadelphia Inquirer April 21.
Dr. Snyder died on April 8, according to the obituary. He served most recently as a longtime trustee at Philadelphia-based Cooper University Health Care and is regarded as an expert in adult congenital heart disease, cardiac electrophysiology and interventional cardiology.
Dr. Snyder moved to Philadelphia from New York City in 1979 to complete a cardiology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He then served at Camden, N.J.-based Cooper University Hospital for more than 30 years as an ‘anchor’ to the then-emerging cardiology department.
According to the obit he pioneered the use of heart catheterizations and treatments for coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure and other ailments. He also transformed his solo practice into a network of regional partnerships called the Heart House and Cardiovascular Associates of the Delaware Valley, which included numerous regional affiliations and led to the expansion of groundbreaking cardiac procedures.
He eared his medical degree at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and completed an internship and residency at Cornell University’s New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
