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...
Can heart arrhythmia be fixed with a healthy lifestyle?
Depends on what kind of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a very generic word that means "abnormal heart rhythm" there are at least 30 different kinds of abnormal heart rhythms. my suggestion is to see a specialist who will then order a monitor for a few weeks after which you would have a better understanding of what you have and treat it. READ MORE
Can heart stent surgery cause any side effects?
It is a minimally catheter invasive procedure that typically carries about a 1-2% risk of having any problem. READ MORE
Should I take medications after stent surgery?
Yes, speacliayy antiplatelet "Aspirin" in addition to "Plavix" or Prasugrel". READ MORE
How long after stent surgery can I fly?
A week. READ MORE
Which is the best diet for heart arrhythmia?
Aabnormal rhythms are almost certainly has a genetic component, some can be triggered by obesity, hypertension or sleep apnea so reversing some of these triggers can help in reducing the arrhythmia. READ MORE
Can arrhythmia cause serious health issues?
Certain arrhythmias can be very determinantal. thus, is prudent to get it diagnosed and treated early. READ MORE
Can I get the COVID vaccine if I have heart disease?
Yes. READ MORE
Are high blood pressure medications safe?
Mostly. READ MORE
Can stroke patient walk again?
That depends on which area of the brain had the stroke, how extensive the area affected and if the patient was seen early on presentation and treated on a reasonable timing. Many patients who get stroke and present early to the hospital would recover some 100%. READ MORE
Can heart attack be prevented?
I most cases yes. eating healthy, low fat, low carb diet (Mediterranean diets), exercise (even walking daily), control cholesterol and blood pressure, and stope smoking if you are smoking. READ MORE
How can you treat heart palpitations?
Heart palpitations can have numerous causes. I suggest seeing an electrophysiologist who then would give you a monitor to wear for 2-4 weeks after which you can have better understanding of which king of issue if any you have and then treat it. READ MORE
Heart arrhythmia pvcs skipped beats?
Unfortunately I can't see these pictures can you email me at Emad.Aziz@Rutgers.Edu READ MORE
What surgery is best for clogged heart arteries?
Majority of blocked arteries can be fixed via a catheter procedure with placement of "cardiac stents" however for patient who have multiple arteries blocked, then open heart bypass surgery is the best. READ MORE

typically 2 days READ MORE
Can you get the COVID vaccine if you have high blood pressure?
yes READ MORE
How is an arrhythmia treated?
Many kinds of arrhythmia are there we need to know which one you have. READ MORE
How serious is a heart aneurysm?
Depending on where the aneurysm is and how large it is typically aortic aneurysm >5.5 cm will require repair. READ MORE
Can you drive a car after heart stent surgery?
Depending on the access to the heart if radial access "hand" then yes, if the groin access "legs" then two days break would be recommended. READ MORE

- What Is Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation?
What Is Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation?Paroxysmal is a condition derived from atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) refers to abnormal heartbeats. These impulses are not just irregular heartbeats, but appear as vibrations in the atria chamber of the heart. Once a person suffers from the...
- Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib) is a heart arrhythmia infection. It causes sporadic electrical signals within the atria, affecting heart rate. This is referred to as rapid ventricular rate (RVR). Atrial fibrillation derives from unusual electrical impulses within the heart.Factors to consider...

- Alternative Treatments for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a condition that causes abnormal vibrations in the heart chambers. It leads to changes in the heartbeat ratesand the pulse.
