New York City, New York Apr 10, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - An exceptional interventional cardiologist, Dr. Beohar has devoted his career to the use and development of catheter-based therapies for the treatment of heart disease.

For patients in cardiogenic shock, Dr. Beohar implants left ventricular assist devices such as the Tandem heart and Impella. He also is skilled in transseptal catheterization, a highly specialized technique used to access the left side of the heart to treat structural heart disease. Additionally, he has had experience with percutaneous therapies for peripheral vascular disease.

Originally from India, he earned his medical degree from the Maulana Azad Medical College in 1990.
