FOR SUPERIOR CARE

As an electrophysiologist, Dr. Vatsal Inamdar blends the best of both worlds by utilizing comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatments and displaying compassionate, personalized care.

“One of the things I like most about being a doctor is spending necessary time with patients and equipping them with the knowledge and tools to improve their lifestyles and health,” he says. “I feel that patient education is vitally important. It’s all about delivering superior care.”

That patient-centered approach explains why the team at Heart of the Villages is excited about Dr. Inamdar joining the practice. He officially started on December 10.

“I feel honored to be part of Heart of the Villages because it is a remarkable practice and provides outstanding patient care. The practice also features a great group of physicians and staff who come together and deliver premier cardiovascular care. I welcome the opportunity to join them as we work to improve the health of The Villages and surrounding area.” graphy. a rt doctor h ms.

Dr. Inamdar, who has spent most of his life in the United States, completed both his residency and cardiology fellowship at Winthrop University Hospital in Long Island. Afterward, he completed his electrophysiology fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and received extensive training in complex arrhythmia management and device implantation. He completed an additional fellowship in echocardiography at the University of Alabama-Birmingham while training under Dr. Navin Nanda, a pioneer in the field of echocardiography.

As an electrophysiologist, Dr. Inamdar is a heart doctor who specializes in treating abnormal heart rhythms. If the heart is beating too slow, he may implant a pacemaker. When medicine fails to adequately treat a rapidly beating heart, he performs a procedure known as radiofrequency ablation. During this procedure, a catheter is guided to the area of the abnormal electrical activity and radiofrequency energy is used to byrn the tissue that triggers the abnormal heart rhythm.

He treats problems such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular contraction.

Without question, Dr. Inamdar has a passion for cardiovascular disease and treatment as it relates to the electricity of the heart. He is truly a skilled “electrician.” g uing

“Electrophysiology has always been very intriguing to me,” he says. “I love being in this field because of the challenge and complexity of the field. Another reason I love it is because I can offer a cure for disease rather than simply prescribing medication to a patient for the rest of his or her life just to mask symptoms.”

Beyond his high level of training and expertise, Dr. Inamdar is also passionate about making a patient’s visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

“I want patients to know they are receiving top-of-the-line care with careful attention to evidence-based medicine. I treat each patient as a member of my family and always take the time to listen to their needs and address their questions and concerns.” e t he ason I love han h is or her , Dr. nt’s visit as -of-t he-l ine d icine. ta ke e can .
