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.

Edoxaban was the most recent drug studied and was the subject of the Engage AF TIMI 48 trial (4).First, your insurance provider might have a...
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...
Is open heart surgery very painful?
The surgery itself is not, but there will be some discomfort afterwards for a week or so. READ MORE
Is it safe to go swimming 4 weeks after a heart attack?
Swimming is the ultimate exercise because you move all your body muscles and it is low impact. Absolutely, your grandma can swim. READ MORE
How long is heart surgery?
Typically 2-3 hours. READ MORE
How to treat a heart valve defect?
For heart valve defect can be either narrowing or a severe leakage and the best treatment is valve surgery, because it gives you the best long term success. READ MORE
How should I prepare for my heart valve surgery?
The basic preparation most likely will be discussed by your surgeon and his team, but some fundamentals is not to eat after mid night the day prior to the procedure, and for patients on anti-coagulation with Coumadin most likely will be stopped couple of days prior to the procedure. Good luck! READ MORE
Can ECG detect heart disease?
ECG is limited to what it can identify, however it is the first step in consulting with a cardiologist. ECG can identify abnormal heart rhythm, abnormal conduction abnormalities, and abnormal congenital heart disease. READ MORE
Can a heart murmur be caused by stress?
Heart murmur is a leak in the heart valves and you typically don't feel that and it is diagnosed by an imaging testing like an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) or Cardiac MRI. If what you meant is heart fluttering (palpitations), then yes, stress can cause an increase in the heart rate and can predispose you to some abnormal heart rhythms. If it continues, you need to be checked by a 24-hour Holter monitor. READ MORE
How long does a carotid doppler ultrasound take?
Few minutes, not long. READ MORE
What can a Holter monitor tell my doctor?
Your total heart beats (daily total heart beats), average heart rate, your lowest and highest rates, as well as any abnormal extra beats you have either from the upper or lower chamber of the heart. It also can show if there is any delay in the heart conduction system at times. READ MORE
What should I expect before and after coronary angiography?
The procedure is typically done in the hospital Cardiac Catheterization laboratory under xray machine. Typically done with some sedation (medication that would make you relaxed), then the physician will access the heart via the artery in the groin or the artery in your arm. Then, they will inject some contrast to light up the arteries and find any blockages. Procedure typically take about 25-35 minutes if no intervention performed. READ MORE
What do I wear to a coronary CTA?
Normal clothing, nothing specific. It is like having a CT scan and they likely will have you change to wear a hospital gown. READ MORE
What diagnoses an arrhythmia?
Arrhythmia is a very generic word that means "abnormal heart rhythm." However, it doesn't specify where its origin is from the upper or lower chamber of the heart or the mechanism of the arrhythmia. Typically, you will need some monitoring for an extended period, like 2-4 weeks, to be able to accurately identify the arrhythmia and be able to structure a management plan for it. READ MORE
Are cardiac catheterization and cardiac angiography the same?
Yes READ MORE
Can anxiety cause irregular heartbeats?
Yes, anxiety can increase your adrenaline levels and can cause an increase in the heart rate, which could be a normal reaction and not necessary an abnormal rhythm. READ MORE
Can you explain to me what a sinus arrhythmia is?
Sinus arrhythmia is a slight variation in the normal heart beat between beats. It is normal in almost all patients, particularity when you take a deep breath, as that increases the return of the blood to the heart, resulting in a slight delay in the heart beats. READ MORE
Is blood pressure normally high during exercise?
Yes during exercise your heart rate and blood pressure increase to certain levels which is a normal response READ MORE
Is a heart murmur caused by heart disease?
Heart murmur can be benign in younger ages in certain conditions, but also can be a result of abnormality in the heart valves. Best to check the heart with echo-cardiogram "heart ultrasound" READ MORE
Child has a stress test. What should I expect?
As I only treat adults above 18 years old, my answer will be accordingly. Stress test is done by walking on the treadmill while monitoring the heart rate and increasing the level of the exercise every three minutes to a harder level. Some centers in addition to going the stress test they perform imaging with an echo cardiogram as well to check on the heart response, and heart muscle function. READ MORE
What are normal ECG values?
There is variation, but the range can be: -HR 60-90 beats per minutes -PR interval 130-200 msec -QRS 80-110 msec -QTc 360-440 msec Again, there are lots of variations. READ MORE
What is a Holter monitor used for?
Holter monitor typically evaluate your heart rate for the duration of the monitor which could be 24 - 48 hours. What it shows is the total heart beats during this period, the minimum, maximum and average heart rates. It also evaluate for any abnormal rhythms like fast (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) rhythms. Can diagnose atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rate), abnormal extra beats from the upper (atria) or lower (ventricular) chambers of the heart and give a percentage of these abnormal beats.
