Edward H. Nabet, D.O.

My interest in medicine started early in life. I looked up to my mother, who was a registered nurse. I saw the love she had for her profession and the strong bonds she built with her colleagues. I also wanted a career in which I could help others and better my community.

Studying cardiology in medical school was effortless because it gave me great joy. I was also interested in the specialty because several members of my family were suffering from cardiovascular disease. I wanted to better understand their conditions and find ways to ensure they received the best medical care possible.

As a noninvasive cardiologist, I see patients who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, and irregular heartbeat.

I specialize in advanced cardiac imaging, which includes cardiac CT scans and MRI scans. Coronary CT angiography allows me to evaluate coronary arteries noninvasively. A coronary artery calcium score scan helps me assess how much calcium is present in the blood vessels feeding the heart and how aggressive treatments should be to prevent heart attacks. I use cardiac MRI scans to evaluate heart conditions, including cardiomyopathy, valve disease, and aortic syndromes. I also perform and interpret transesophageal echocardiograms and cardiac stress tests.

I treat my patients the same way I would treat a family member. As a cardiologist at NYU Langone Cardiology Associates—Mineola, I ensure that patients understand their condition and are comfortable with their treatment plan. I strive for excellence and deliver high-level patient care.

I also believe a good diet and regular exercise are essential to managing cardiovascular disease. Preventive cardiovascular medicine helps me identify patients at the highest risk of future cardiovascular events and provide more-aggressive medical care when needed.
