IN lESS THAN A DECADE, THE HE ART GROUP OF SYR ACUSE HA S
BUIlT A REPUTATION A S A PREMIER PROVIDER OF ESTABlISHED
A S WEll A S INNOVATIVE TRE ATMENTS FOR HE ART RHY THM
DISORDERS, AND IT CONTINUES TO BURNISH THAT STATUS IN
CENTR Al NE W YORK.
FOUNDED IN 2011 by board-certified
cardiologists, cardiac electrophysiologists
and internal medicine physicians Traian
M. A nghel, MD, FACC, a nd Ja ma l J.
Ahmed, MD, FACC, the Heart Group is
a full-service cardiolog y practice that
focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of
arrhythmias. In the seven-plus years since
they established the practice, Drs. Ahmed
and Anghel have performed thousands
of pr o c e du r e s i n a l l t he S y r a c u s e
hospitals, and the group has grown to
encompass satellite locations in Fulton
and Watertown, in addition to its main
office in East Syracuse.
A hallmark of the Heart Group since its
inception has been its thorough evaluation
of new treatment technologies that emerge
to offer better results to patients with
fewer sequelae, such as the subcutaneous
implantable cardioverter defibrillator
(S-ICD) System for patients at risk of
sudden cardiac arrest. In 2014, the Heart
Group became the first practice to perform
a S-ICD System implantation in Central
New York.
