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...
Do you need general anesthesia for heart stent surgery?
No typically done under conscious sedation READ MORE
Should I use medications for blocked heart arteries?
your cardiologist will direct you towards the best combination of medications that suite your heart conduction. However, in general most patients with coronary artery disease (heart artery blockages) will need to have a better blood [pressure control, diabetes control and cholesterol control as well as certain antiplatelets (blood thinner) to prevent clotting within the coronary arteries. READ MORE
What activities to avoid after a heart transplant?
cardiac rehab is important post any heart surgery. READ MORE
How long after heart transplant surgery can you resume physical activities?
while this is not my specialty, but most patients post any cardiac surgery will need to be on a Cardiac rehab program which will ease them to normal physicial activities. READ MORE
What medications do heart stent patients take?
typically patients who have stent need to be on antiplatelets 9certain blood thinners) like aspirin and Plavix or one of the newer antiplatelets like Prasugrel. they also need to have a better control of their blood pressure and cholesterol medications. READ MORE
When can I start weight lifting after a stent?
you nee couple of days break till the groin or arm access heals then you can exercises. I would discuss this with the interventional cardiologist. READ MORE
Can a stent prevent heart attacks?
NO. life style modification would certainly help prevent any heart attacks. better control of your blood pressure, exercise, smoking cessation and cholesterol control. READ MORE
Should I visit ER for blood pressure?
NO. Bloor pressure management is a primary care physician and cardiologist job, it is better to have regular visits with your primary doctor who knows you and adjust your medications accordingly. READ MORE
How long is the hospital stay after angioplasty?
typically overnight stay. READ MORE
Does a 50% blocked artery need a stent?
not in most cases, life style modifications is important. control blood pressure, diabetes control and cholesterol control READ MORE
Is low blood pressure serious?
no necessarily, some patient tend to have lower blood pressure, but need to be checked by a primary care physician to rule out any serious deceases. READ MORE
Should I take medications for clogged heart arteries?
After discussion with your physician, he might recommend better control of her blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. READ MORE
How long does a stent last in your heart?
Stents are permanent metal mesh that stays within the artery to hold the plaque against the wall. There are newer stents now that might be absorbable but they are not yet released to the market READ MORE
Is putting a heart stent major surgery?

Do you take medications after a stent?
Yes typically medication to control her blood pressure, cholesterol and antiplatelets (blood thinners) to prevent in-stent stenosis READ MORE
Can arrhythmia be fixed with surgery?
arrhythmia is a very generic word, any abnormal rhythm is called arrhythmia. Most arrhythmia can be fixed by catheter procedure called "ablations" these are minimal procedures not surgeries. you will need to see a specialist "electrophysiologist" who takes care of these abnormal rhythms. READ MORE
What is best exercise for heart?
Walking 30 minutes per day 5 days a week READ MORE
When can you return to work after a heart transplant?
While this is not my specialty, discussion should be done with the heart transplant physician. Most patients post any cardiac surgery will need to have cardiac rehabilitation after that the patient would be eased and to exercising and working READ MORE

He can hold the progression of clogged arteries by controlling your diet particularly controlling your cholesterol and diabetes as well as exercise and smoking cessation READ MORE
What high blood pressure medication has the least side effects?
Most blood pressure medications are benign. The side effects of having high blood pressure is worse than the side effect of any medication. There are several classes of medications ACE inhibitors (a medication that ends with pril), ARB's (any medication that ends with Sartin), beta-blockers (lack by a bystolic), etc... READ MORE
