Interventional Cardiology

515 111 Route, Smithtown, NY 11788

Dr. Shahram Hormozi is an interventional cardiology specialist in Hauppauge, NY. Dr. Hormozi graduated from Stony Brook University Medical Center, School of Medicine.

"Last year my PCP recommended that I see Dr. Hormozi, who had hours at the office on Saturdays. During the visit, when I asked about my EKG, he threw the paper at me, sternly saying, "This is an abnormal EKG." I knew that already; that is why I was there. He also took a personal phone call, telling the caller he would call him back. All through the visit, he mused aloud about a medication, and at last decided to prescribe it. When I picked up the medication, the pharmacist asked if I had questions, and I asked about interactions. She looked puzzled and asked me if I had been advised to discontinue any of my other meds, and I told her no, I had not. She advised me to check with the doctor as the new med he prescribed could not be mixed with my current meds; the end result would be kidney failure. Should you need to confirm this, I will gladly give you the number for my PCP, who (hopefully) will be honest about it and confirm it. "

What is Interventional Cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is the treatment of heart disease without surgery, through the use of catheters. Primarily this is via a procedure called cardiac catheterization, where a long, thin, flexible tube, called a catheter, is threaded through a vein or artery up towards the heart. The catheter can be used to inject dye for x-rays, open narrowed artery walls, widen heart valves, place stents, or perform other tests and procedures.

Cardiology is a large specialty, and covers many diseases and disorders of the heart as well as several different kinds of treatments. What makes interventional cardiologists special is their ability to use minimally invasive procedures to treat heart disease. Interventional cardiologists may treat coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease, where blood vessels become narrowed or blocked. They also may repair or replace damaged heart valves.

During a cardiac catheterization, the interventional cardiologist inserts the catheter into a blood vessel through a small incision in the groin or arm. It is then threaded to the blocked artery or into the heart, where tiny tools can be passed through the tube. These tools are used to perform percutaneous coronary interventions, or procedures done to the heart and arteries via catheter. Procedures may include:

Angioplasty, or opening of blocked arteries, often via the inflation of a balloon
Atherectomy, the physical cutting away of plaque buildup
Stenting, the placement of metal springs to hold artery walls open
Heart valve repair or replacement
Closure of holes in the heart

That these procedures can be performed without the pain and recovery time of traditional surgery is truly amazing.
