RWJUH Rahway held its Heart & Vascular patient reunion on Wednesday, February 11th.
Syed Rizvi, an employee in Biomed, was diagnosed by Dr. Howard Levitt, Medical Director of Cardiology at RWJUH Rahway's Healthy Heart Center, with a blocked artery and sent immediately to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey for a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.
Syed, a new father of a four-month-old at the time, then attended Cardiac Rehab in East Brunswick at an RWJBarnabas Health facility, where he made a full recovery. Now, he's back at work and back to taking care of his newest addition to the family, thanks to the heart and vascular teams at all the RWJBarnabas Health facilities, who came together to save Syed's life.
Syed Rizvi is a great example of why we celebrate American Heart Month.❤️
