We have made tremendous progress in treating cardiovascular disease, but the incidence of heart attacks and strokes remains high. A key reason is the environment around us. ⁠
⁠
In cities with high population density and traffic congestion, airborne pollutants trigger systemic inflammation and increase oxidative stress.⁠
⁠
These are direct contributors to coronary artery disease. A person walking for an hour in New Delhi may inhale the equivalent of several cigarettes’ worth of particulate matter. ⁠
⁠
This exposure cannot be overlooked. Managing cardiovascular health now requires us to consider environmental risk factors with the same seriousness as hypertension or diabetes.

Before we talk about pills, procedures, or scans, we have to talk about the basics: nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. These are not optional. ⁠
⁠
They are the core of any treatment plan. A heart that is constantly under strain from poor diet, smoking, or inactivity will likely face setbacks in healing even with advanced medical technology.
⁠
Every guideline for heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes begins with lifestyle for a reason. It’s the one intervention thats in your control and can treat the root of disease.

Just wrapped up an incredible 48 hours in London!
There’s nothing more inspiring than collaborating with some of the world’s brightest minds to push the boundaries of what’s possible in cardiovascular care. I’m truly honored to be part of this innovative and diverse team developing a groundbreaking device for performing angioplasties. I learned so much from these bright engineers, entrepreneurs, and physicians and enjoyed sharing ideas with them. Can’t wait for the next chapter!

When someone has sleep apnea, their airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, cutting off oxygen. Each episode puts the body under stress, and the heart feels that burden. Oxygen drops, blood pressure spikes, and over time, this cycle increases the risk of arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and even stroke.⁠
⁠
Sleep Apnea is far more common than most people realize, and unfortunately, it is often dismissed until damage has already been done.⁠
⁠
If you wake up tired, gasp for air in your sleep, or have been told you snore loudly, it is worth investigating. A sleep study might protect your heart.

I’m honored to be voted Top Doc in this year. Thank you to my colleagues who voted for me and my team who supports me in all that I do. It feels great to be featured alongside such esteemed physicians, many of which I consider friends.

Diabetes and heart disease are deeply connected. Elevated blood sugar causes damage to the inner lining of blood vessels, making them prone to narrowing and plaque buildup. ⁠
⁠
Over time, this restricts oxygen flow and forces the heart to work harder to maintain circulation. This is why people with diabetes are at significantly greater risk for heart attacks, stroke, and heart failure. ⁠
⁠
The earlier you manage your diabetes, the better chance you have to protect your heart.

I’m often asked why I take such a hard stance on sugar. It’s because I’ve seen the effects firsthand. ⁠
⁠
Sugar accelerates weight gain, disrupts blood pressure, and silently pushes cholesterol and diabetes into dangerous territory. The science is clear: excessive sugar harms the heart. ⁠
⁠
That’s why I always tell patients to monitor it with the same seriousness they would any other risk factor.
