About Amit Zachariah, MD

Philosophy of Care

As we all age, we wonder about our health and more specifically, our risk for cardiovascular disease, which is the #1 cause of mortality in the United States for both men and women. Uncertainty about this can be a scary proposition. My goal is to make it easier to understand these risks and take corrective steps to decrease these risks. This can be modified through lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures and I am happy to discuss all of these options.

Clinical Interests
My interests are in coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. We have become more aware of a condition called cardiac amyloidosis which I also have a special interest in diagnosing and treating. As an interventional cardiologist, I am able to do procedures to open up the arteries of the heart and other blood vessels of the body, including the legs. I can also do procedures to remove clots from the arteries of the lung and use medications to manage higher pressures in the lungs. Sometimes we need to do procedures in emergency situations to help support the heart in many ways, which I am also able to do.
Personal Interests
Most of my time outside of medicine is spent with my family and friends. I love to travel around the country and outside of it, when I have the time. I run for exercise and to stay in shape. Finding a new favorite restaurant brings me joy. I love to see the next blockbuster or smaller indie movie, but the only requirement is that they are critically acclaimed. I am a huge Chicago sports fan and love to attend their games, but the Bears have a special place in my heart.

The doctor spent a great deal of time with me and answered all questions I had.

It was a good experience with Dr. Zachariah as he listened to me and then explained things to me. He was attentive and chowed concern for my issues. He told me that what I was experiencing could be better address by changing a couple of medicine strengths and he ordered a blood thinner and explained why he did this. He also gave me the option of the medication due to my price concerns. He took the time to examine me and gave a good explanation for how he wanted to proceed with my care. The last cardiologist I had was very upsetting as he showed no concern for me and just did what he wanted and did not listen to my concerns. Dr. Zachariah was not that way and I felt true compassion and concern for my health issues.

I felt I was taken very good care of. The facility is quite large but there is always someone with me to show me to the exam rooms.
