New Brunswick, NJ - According to the CDC, each year approximately 850,000 Americans experience a heart attack and about one in five heart attacks are silent. Dr. Ramzan Zakir, founder of the Heart & Vascular Institute of Central New Jersey, is working hard to soften the impact. “What I find fascinating about the heart is that our interventions can have immediate impact on patients. And being an interventionist, I find it gratifying to intervene on patients who have coronary artery disease that may be causing significant chest pain and SOB with exertion or having heart attacks and by placing a stent to improve blood flow we are able to improve quality of life in patients with angina and survival in patients who are having a heart attack. Similarly, patients who have vascular disease have blockages in the circulation in the legs which leads to severe pain with walking and in more severe cases are at risk for limb loss, restoring blood flow can alleviate symptoms and prevent amputations. What keeps me going is changes in techniques and technology that improve our ability to treat patients with improved outcomes,” shares Dr. Zakir. Cardiology not a static field, it’s constantly evolving.” What makes the Heart & Vascular Institute stand out is its ability to able to test for and treat complex coronary and vascular disease. The Heart & Vascular Institute offers a wide range of in-office testing. While genetics plays a considerable role in cardiovascular disease, reducing risk is possible. Dr. Zakir’s is also a recipient of numerous awards. For more information about Dr. Zakir, please visit https://njheartandvascular.com/
