Cardiologist Completes Advanced Training, Resumes Practice

Lake Regional Cardiologist Zubair Khan, M.D., FACC, recently completed a year-long interventional cardiology fellowship at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn. The hospital is affiliated with world-renowned Weill Cornell Medical College in New York — an Ivy League medical school that is among the nation’s best in medical education and research.

On Monday, Aug. 9, Dr. Khan will resume treating patients at Lake Regional Heart and Vascular, now located in the newly renovated Specialty Suite on the second floor of Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach.

“By completing this fellowship, Dr. Khan has demonstrated his commitment to his patients and his desire to provide the highest quality care,” said Michael E. Henze, chief executive officer of Lake Regional Health System. “We commend him on this achievement and welcome him back.”

In addition to diagnosing and treating heart disease, Dr. Khan now offers advanced interventional cardiac procedures that restore blood flow to the heart, such as balloon angioplasty, stent placement and rotational atherectomy (plaque removal).

“I’m looking forward to returning to my practice at Lake Regional,” Dr. Khan said. “The skills I learned during my fellowship will allow me to provide more comprehensive cardiac care for my patients here at the lake.”

Dr. Khan joined Lake Regional in October 2003. He earned a medical degree from Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan, and completed a cardiology fellowship and internal medicine residency at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Dr. Khan is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a member of the American Heart Association and the American Society of Echocardiography.
