“3 YEARS OF PAIN. GONE IN 30 MINUTES. ✨
Meet Mona Bayomi. For three years, chronic knee pain controlled her life. She couldn’t walk without a cane. She couldn’t shop with her son. Simple tasks left her in agony.
She tried orthopedics, pain management, neurology—nothing worked.
Then she discovered Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) at Apex Heart and Vascular.
WHAT IS G*E?
G*E is a minimally invasive procedure that stops chronic knee pain by blocking abnormal blood vessels that feed pain nerves in your knee. Using advanced imaging and ultra-thin catheters, Dr. Shah precisely targets the problem—NO major surgery needed.
The procedure takes just 20 minutes.
MONA’S RESULTS:
✅ Relief in LESS THAN ONE HOUR
✅ Walking pain-free the SAME DAY
✅ Back to normal life almost immediately
‘I couldn’t believe this procedure really works. It was like magic. I can do everything I couldn’t do for three years.’ - Mona
If traditional treatments haven’t helped your knee pain, G*E may be the answer.

The procedure took less than 20 minutes… and I feel incredibly improved.”

Today is a moment to recognize something that often goes unsaid.

The long hours.
The pressure of every decision.
The responsibility that doesn’t turn off when the day ends.

To every physician — not just within Apex, but across our entire community — thank you for what you carry and the lives you impact every single day.

Medicine continues to evolve, but what doesn’t change is the commitment it takes to show up consistently for patients, families, and each other.

We’re proud to work alongside physicians who push for better outcomes, earlier diagnoses, and meaningful patient care every day.

Happy Doctor’s Day 🫀

🚨 Blood clots don’t always give you a warning — and when they reach the lungs, the consequences can be immediate.

March is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month, and this is something far more common — and dangerous — than most people realize.

In the U.S. alone:
• Up to 900,000 people are affected by blood clots each year
• 60,000–100,000 deaths occur annually
• ⚠️ About 1 in 4 pulmonary embolisms present as sudden death

Most clots start in the legs (DVT).
But when they travel to the lungs, they become a pulmonary embolism (PE) — a life-threatening emergency.

⚠️ Know the risk factors:
Long travel or sitting, recent surgery or hospitalization, cancer, pregnancy, or prior history of clots.

🚩 Watch for symptoms:
Shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, lightheadedness, or coughing (sometimes with blood).
And in some cases — there are no warning signs at all.

Early recognition and timely care can make the difference.

🫀At Apex Heart & Vascular, we focus on prevention, early detection, and rapid evaluation — because catching this early can save your life.

🚨 Up to 900,000 Americans develop dangerous blood clots every year.

Yet many people don’t recognize the warning signs until it’s too late.

March is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month, an important reminder that blood clots remain one of the most serious — and often under-recognized — vascular conditions.

📊 The reality:

• Up to 900,000 Americans develop venous blood clots each year
• As many as 100,000 deaths may be linked to blood clots annually
• 1 in 4 pulmonary embolisms occur suddenly and without warning

Most cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) begin in the deep veins of the legs. When a clot forms, it can slow or block circulation. If part of that clot travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism — a life-threatening emergency.

⚠️ Warning signs may include:

• Leg swelling (usually one leg)
• Calf pain or tenderness
• Warmth or redness in the leg
• Sudden shortness of breath
• Chest pain or rapid heartbeat

At Apex Heart & Vascular Care, our focus is on comprehensive cardiovascular and vascular evaluation, helping patients identify potential problems early and guiding them toward the right care before complications occur.

Because when it comes to circulation, what you don’t see can still be dangerous.

❄️ New Jersey has been giving us the cold shoulder lately…
Unfortunately, winter gives your heart one too. ❤️

Snow. Ice. Wind chills. Sudden temperature drops.

While we’ve all been focused on the forecast… your heart has been working overtime.

Cold temperatures cause blood vessels to constrict. Blood pressure rises. The heart demands more oxygen. For patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, that added strain can trigger serious events — especially during snow shoveling or sudden exertion.

And here’s the reality: Heart disease remains the #1 cause of death in the United States. Winter quietly increases the risk.

February is American Heart Month — and at Apex Heart & Vascular, prevention is not seasonal.

Across North Jersey, we provide:
• Full-spectrum cardiac & vascular screening
• Early detection with conservative testing first
• In-office diagnostics
• Minimally invasive solutions when needed

We’re open 6 days a week.
We accept all major insurances.
We are 5x IAC certified and AAAASF accredited.

This month, don’t just layer your coat.
Layer your protection.

Schedule a cardiovascular screening.
Encourage your parents, your spouse, your siblings — the people you love — to get evaluated.

Because the best heart attack is the one that never happens. For more information follow .

🫀 WEAR RED DAY | AMERICAN HEART MONTH 🫀

So many women put themselves last.
They take care of their children.
Their partners.
Their parents.
Their jobs.
Everyone else comes first — until one day, their health demands attention 🚩

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States — claiming more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Yet for many women, the signs don’t arrive loudly. They arrive quietly, subtly, and are often brushed off or misunderstood.

Unusual or persistent fatigue.
Shortness of breath with minimal activity.
Lightheadedness or nausea.
Jaw, neck, shoulder, or back discomfort.
A pressure or heaviness that doesn’t feel “textbook.”

These are not “nothing.”
These are real warning signs 🩺🫀

At Apex Heart & Vascular, we see this every single day — women who delayed care because they were busy caring for others, women who were told their symptoms were stress or anxiety, women whose cardiovascular disease could have been identified earlier.

That’s why today matters.

We are proud to officially partner with the (American Heart Association ) to stand behind a message that saves lives:
Awareness leads to action. Early detection changes outcomes.

Nearly 1 in 2 women over the age of 20 is living with cardiovascular disease.
Up to 80% of heart disease is preventable with education, lifestyle changes, and proactive cardiovascular care.
Heart disease affects women at every stage of life — from menstruation and pregnancy to menopause and beyond 🎗️

Wear Red Day exists to remind women to trust their instincts.
To speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
To stop minimizing symptoms that deserve evaluation 🚨

Today, our team wears red for the women we care for — and the women we love ❤️
For our moms.
Our grandmothers.
Our sisters.
Our friends.

🫀 If you’re reading this, let it be your reminder:
Your health matters.
Your symptoms matter.
And taking care of yourself is not selfish — it’s necessary.

Tomorrow we Wear Red ❤️

Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death for women — and too often, symptoms go unnoticed, dismissed, or misunderstood. That’s why Wear Red Day matters. It’s about awareness, early detection, and reminding women that their health deserves to come first.

At Apex, this isn’t just a color we wear — it’s a commitment to education, prevention, and full-spectrum cardiovascular care for the women we serve every day.

Join us tomorrow.
Wear red. Start the conversation. Take action.

🦵 Up to 40% of adults have chronic venous insufficiency — and many don’t realize it. 🫀

“I lived with leg heaviness, swelling, and pain for over 10 years.”

For Orsi, long hours on her feet led to chronic leg heaviness, swelling (edema), pressure, stiffness, and fatigue — symptoms she lived with for years without a diagnosis.

After a full venous evaluation at Apex Heart & Vascular Care, the cause became clear.

She underwent vein ablation ➜ followed by sclerotherapy, minimally invasive procedures designed to improve circulation and relieve venous disease 🩻🫀

The outcome:
🦵 Relief the same day
⬇️ Reduced heaviness and pressure
🚶‍♀️ Back to walking and daily activity

If you’re experiencing heavy legs, swelling, or pain after standing, there may be a treatable vascular cause 🫀🩺

“Sentía que caminaba con un peso enorme en cada pierna…
hoy camino con tranquilidad y paz.”

“It felt like I was carrying an enormous weight in each leg…
today, I walk with calm and peace.”

At 75, Ana Gracia came to us wanting to keep her independence.

Walking had become exhausting.
Stairs felt out of reach.
The heaviness in her legs affected both her body and her spirit.

After a minimally invasive treatment and care delivered with patience and humanity, she’s moving forward again — walking confidently, climbing stairs, and exercising without fear. 🚶‍♀️

Her message to other patients is simple: don’t be afraid.
The procedure was manageable, not traumatic, and the reward was getting her freedom back.

This is why restoring mobility matters.
Movement brings independence.
Independence brings peace.

If leg pain or heaviness is limiting your ability to walk, call our office.
We’re here to listen and help you understand your options.

The scariest heart symptoms are the ones that come and go — fainting out of nowhere, sudden dizziness, random palpitations… and then everything looks “normal” by the time you reach the doctor. ⚠️

That’s exactly why we use an Insertable Loop Recorder (ILR) at Apex Heart & Vascular 🫀
It’s a tiny device, about the size of a paperclip, placed just under the skin to quietly track your heart rhythm 24/7 for years. No hospital stay. No stitches. Quick, in-office procedure ✅

We rely on ILRs when:
– Symptoms are unpredictable (fainting, lightheadedness, irregular heartbeat)
– There’s concern for atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias
– Someone has had an unexplained stroke
– Medications like beta blockers need close monitoring

The ILR shows us what your heart is doing in real life, not just during a short EKG or a one-day monitor. For many patients, it’s the tool that finally brings real answers and a safer plan forward 🔍

An ILR is one of the lowest-risk, highest-yield tools in modern cardiology. If you have any questions please reach out to our office.

💢 Every step shouldn’t hurt.
If knee pain has slowed you down — even after therapy, medications, or injections — there’s finally a proven option that doesn’t require major surgery.

At Apex Heart & Vascular, our specialists offer Genicular Artery Embolization (G*E) — a minimally invasive procedure that targets the source of osteoarthritis pain: chronic inflammation inside the knee joint.

⸻

💡 What Is G*E?

G*E is an advanced, image-guided treatment that blocks the tiny abnormal blood vessels feeding inflammation in your knee — while preserving healthy blood flow.
By reducing this abnormal circulation, swelling and pain decrease, allowing you to move more comfortably and regain mobility.

⸻

⚙️ How It Works

🏥 Outpatient procedure — no hospital stay
✂️ No incision, no stitches
💤 Light sedation for comfort
🚶 You walk out the same day
⏳ Noticeable improvement within weeks
📈 Relief that can last 1–3 years

⸻

📊 Results You Can Feel

✅ Average 50–60% pain reduction within one month
✅ 80% of patients maintain relief for a year or more
✅ MRI studies show decreased inflammation — and no cartilage or bone damage
✅ Many patients move better, rely less on pain meds, and return to everyday activities

⸻

👥 Who It Helps Most

G*E is ideal for people with moderate knee arthritis who:
• Want to delay or avoid knee replacement
• Haven’t found relief from injections or therapy
• Need a low-risk, nonsurgical alternative
• Want to stay active and independent again

⸻

💙 Why Choose Apex Heart & Vascular

Apex is one of New Jersey’s leading centers for image-guided, minimally invasive treatments.
Our multidisciplinary team combines vascular expertise, advanced imaging, and compassionate care — delivering real, lasting results without surgery.

⸻

✨ Don’t let knee pain decide what you can do.
Find out if G*E is right for you and start moving comfortably again.
