Dr. Ajit Naidu & the Fight Against CAD

Posted on January 14, 2020

Dr. Ajit Naidu leads the team of professional medical staff at Cardiovascular Institute of the Shoals. He was the first physician in the Shoals to offer radial artery cardiac catheterizations and coronary interventions, laser varicose vein ablation, and advanced techniques in peripheral vascular intervention.

While he works toward treating an array of cardiovascular issues with the most cutting-edge technology and an emphasis on patient care, one disease he is determined to fight is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). CAD is diagnosed as a buildup of plaque or a blockage in one of the arteries near the heart muscle.

Treatments for this condition vary from patient to patient, but can range from stent procedures, angioplasty, or even bypass surgery. One way Dr. Naidu has been able to treat his patients for Coronary Artery Disease is by encouraging a routine of exercising, eating a healthy and balanced diet, and by taking medication to fight against this disease.

CAD and other cardiovascular diseases may have grim outlooks sometimes, but Dr. Naidu is compassionate and understanding with his patients, while encouraging them to take control of their lives and of their diseases. Coronary Artery Disease doesn’t have to be fatal. And with Dr. Naidu’s determination for his patients, it won’t be.

It is crucial to find the right fit for all of your medical needs, but especially for your cardiovascular health. When it comes to issues of the heart and vascular systems, you want to place your life in hands that you can trust.

Cardiovascular Institute of the Shoals is made up of a group of medical professionals in Northwest Alabama. We use cutting edge technology, our own knowledge and professional experience, and all-around patient care to provide the best experience for our patients. 

We know that cardiovascular issues can be scary, but they often can lead to bigger medical issues, the longer they persist. This is why we all work together to provide an environment of information–we want to inform our patients of the root of the issues here. But we also work to create an environment of compassion and empathy. Our patients never have to face their medical issues alone; we do whatever is necessary to help heal the issue and ease the mind.

It is our goal to see and treat people with issues from Hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease, to Restless Leg Syndrome and Peripheral Artery Disease. It’s our mission to end the pain and suffering of thousands of people in the Shoals and surrounding areas who suffer in silence from painful, yet treatable diseases that severely diminish the quality of life. It is our goal to see that quality of life restored. For life to be lived. 

We want to restore the faith in doctors, in medical teams, and in the advancement of medical technology by providing our patients with the best care. It’s all about putting our patients’ needs first, really listening and treating the roots of the problem, and then seeing our patients live long and happy lives, free of the ailments that plagued them and sent them to Cardiovascular Institute of the Shoals to begin with.
