Dr. Tariq Rashid Shah

Specialty Areas and Treatments

Dr Tariq Rashid Shah provides highly advanced, life-saving interventional cardiology and clinical cardiac care for patients at Ujala Cygnus Kashmir Super Speciality Hospital and Shifa Medical Centre.

Interventional Cardiology and Coronary Angioplasty

Patients presenting with coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), or severe angina require immediate, precise intervention to restore blood flow to the heart muscle. Dr Shah is a pioneer in complex coronary interventions, having successfully performed hundreds of life-saving procedures:

• Diagnostic Coronary Angiography and Echocardiography
• Primary and Complex Coronary Angioplasty (including Left Main, Bifurcation, and CTO)
• Rotablation-assisted Angioplasty for heavily calcified arteries
• Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) for optimal stent placement

Cardiac Rhythm Management and Pacemakers

Arrhythmias, severe bradycardia, and heart block can cause profound fatigue, fainting, and life-threatening cardiac events. Dr Shah provides expert electrophysiological management to restore and regulate normal heart rhythms:

• Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (Single and Dual Chamber)
• Conduction System Pacing for physiological heart rhythm restoration
• Comprehensive Heart Failure Management

Structural Heart Disease Interventions

Congenital heart defects like Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), as well as valvular stenosis, require highly specialised, minimally invasive structural repairs to prevent long-term cardiac damage. Dr Shah offers state-of-the-art, non-surgical structural interventions:

• Transcatheter Device Closure (Button Device) for ASD and PDA
• Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC) for mitral valve stenosis
• Balloon Valvotomy for stenosed heart valves
• Clinical Cardiology and Preventive Cardiac Care
