Hedayatollah Zaghi, MD

As a cardiologist at NYU Langone Cardiology Associates—Atlantis/Lake Worth, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and inclusive care. I specialize in clinical cardiology, focusing on conditions such as heart attack, congestive heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, and valvular diseases. My work also extends to addressing cardiovascular events like strokes and syncope (fainting).

With more than 30 years of experience, I emphasize education, prevention, and partnership, empowering patients to take control of their health and view their bodies as gifts that require care and attention.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, which extends to my clinical practice. I believe in reducing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and inadequate physical activity to prevent emergencies rather than treating them. My holistic approach addresses not only heart conditions but also the broader context of my patients’ health, including stress and other life factors that influence cardiovascular wellbeing. I offer guidance on stress management whenever appropriate, recognizing the profound connection between mental and physical health.

My journey into medicine began with a deep appreciation for the marvels of the human body and a desire to make a difference in people's lives. I am honored to have received the Heroes in Medicine Award in West Palm Beach for providing free cardiology care to patients who are underserved, reflecting my dedication to compassionate and accessible cardiac care.

At NYU Langone, I collaborate with an expert team, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. My goal is for patients to feel heard, valued, and confident in the care they receive—the same level of care I would want for my own family.
