FUTURE OF CARDIOLOGY
Dr. Zakir is on the cutting edge of technology to help improve patient outcomes. He sees an increased use of CT scanning to better identify patients at risk of heart attacks using a calcium score. Also, incorporating physiology into CT scans and angiography is a major advancement that better identifies which patients will benefit from coronary stents. Furthermore, balloons to treat calcified disease, stent technology, advanced 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence continue to improve, enabling practitioners to treat patients with more complex disease safely.
