90 Bergen Street 3500 Newark NJ, 07103About
Professor of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Section Chief of Cardiac Electrophysiology. Dr. Aziz is managing a very busy electrophysiology service performing more than 700 electrophysiology procedures annually. These included a variety of every electrophysiology cases from all device implantations (Pacemakers, implantable and subcutaneous defibrillators and Cardiac Resynchronization devices) to all complex ablations (with extensive ablation experience for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia, Lariat left atrial Closure device, and ventricular tachycardia for idiopathic, ischemic and non-ischemic hearts). He is one of the leading laser lead extractor, performing the most difficult cases with a great success record. Recently was named to the Stereotaxis CENTURY club, which recognizes the top robotic navigation ablation experts in the nation. Dr. Aziz is certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine, the American Osteopathic Board of Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology. He attended the Faculty of Medicine of Alexandria University in Egypt and the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Westbury, NY. Dr. Aziz completed his residency training in Internal Medicine and fellowships in Cardiology and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center along with a fellowship in Advanced Heart Failure at Montefiore-Einstein Heart Institute. He also run a very robust research department as the director of the ACAP cardiac research program (which consist of 12 novel state of the art clinical management pathways with all their databases) publishing more than 130 abstracts and 80 manuscripts and book chapters. He is currently the principle investigator for 12 national and international electrophysiology trials including RESPONT-CRT (Sorin), RAID (NIH), VEST (Zoll Medical Corporation), SDD for ICD (St. Jude Medical), GLORIA-AF (Boehringer Inglheim Pharmaceuticals), MADIT-PARS, NAVISTAR THERMoCOOL and on the advisory board for multiple device companies (Biotronik, Sorin and Barclay’s). He is named in the NEW YORK TOP PHYSICIAN SUPER DOCTORS published by the New York Times for the past six years and is a fellow of the heart rhythm society joining the elite physicians in the field of electrophysiology.

Questions About Heart Rate
1. What is a heart rate? What does it indicate, and why is it important?Heart rate (HR) is the number of heart beats calculated per minute. The heart is the source of life in the human body, so it is a very busy organ, working 24/7 with a total of about 80,000-110,000 beats per day. The average...
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common irregular heart rhythm abnormality. It is caused by abnormal electrical signals that are causing the heart to beat irregularly and usually very fast.Symptoms of atrial fibrillation are palpitations (racing heart, skipped beats, and irregular heartbeats), chest...
What exercises help with a fast heartbeat?
Test heartbeat can be closed by many things. Anemia, infection, thyroid issues, deconditioning, thus after ruling out correctable disease then exercise can help lower the heart rate READ MORE
What exercises do to avoid if you have a heart blockage?
Depending on how bad the blockages that you have. Most patients who have minimum arterial blockage can perform normal exercise as long as it is under the direction of cardiologist READ MORE
Can smoking cause a heart attack?
Smoking can cause spasm in the coronary arteries which can predispose to coronary artery disease READ MORE
Is 100 heart beats per minute serious?
Yes you should be evaluated because of 100 bpm is elevated heart rate READ MORE
What is the best heart-healthy diet?
Low-sodium diet low-fat diet. Mediterranean diet. Moderation READ MORE
What activities to avoid with high blood pressure?
Exercise exercise exercise READ MORE
What foods to avoid with arrhythmia?
Arrhythmias are typically caused by abnormal cells on the heart. Food change does not affect arrhythmia. You need to see an electrophysiologist who will diagnose specifically what abnormal arrhythmia have a most likely can be fixed by catheter procedure READ MORE
When can I run after heart stent surgery?
Typical recovery post stent procedure is 2-3 days and patient can exercise after READ MORE
What activities to avoid after a heart stent?
No activities to be avoided. Exercise is very important to recovery. I will discuss with my cardiologist about when can I go back to exercise READ MORE
Can you fix heart artery blockage?
Coronary artery disease most of the time can be treated with aggressive lifestyle modification with control of the blood pressure, sugar, weight and cholesterol. In some instances when the blockage is severe intervention cardiologist can place a stent however placing a stent does not reverse the coronary artery disease YS*modification is still very important READ MORE
Can a fast heartbeat cause any issues?
Yes independent was causes a fast heartbeat, it is preferable to be checked by a cardiac electrophysiologist READ MORE
Can a heart stent fix arrhythmia?
No this is two completely different things. Stent fix arteries, arrhythmias is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the heart READ MORE
Can heart arrhythmia be managed with a healthy diet?
No. Cardiac rhythm abnormalities disclosed by abnormal cells or circuits with them the heart this cannot be fixed by healthy diet READ MORE
Do I need surgery to fix my heart artery blockage?
I am not sure what blockage just you have however most chronic artery disease can be fixed with stenting and last all modification unless so severe then the patient will need open heart surgery READ MORE
Can heart palpitations be managed with medications?
To certain extent medication is like a bandage on the ward. Heart palpitations need to be investigated by a cardiac electrophysiologist who would recommend either medication or a procedure to permanently get rid of the arrhythmia READ MORE
Can high blood pressure be managed with medications?
Absolutely READ MORE
Can I drink alcohol 2 weeks after heart stent surgery?
I will discuss that with my interventional cardiologist. Moderation is important READ MORE
Can I exercise 5 weeks after a heart stent?
Yes READ MORE
Can the COVID vaccine affect my heart health?
There are some rare cases reported of myocarditis with the Moderna vaccine. READ MORE
Can high blood pressure be treated with medications?
Changes in lifestyle, like weight loss, exercise, and low salt can lower your blood pressure and if that doesn't lower it then medications should be started. READ MORE
