January 30, 2009 - 4:41pm 390 reads 0 comments

Dr. Saks introduces herself and shares what an electrocardiogram/EKG/ECG is.

Dr. Saks:
Hi, my name is Shani Saks. I am a non-invasive cardiologist and Medical Director of the Women’s Heart and Wellness Program at the Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix, Arizona.

It’s a very simple test that tells us the heart rhythm, whether it’s too fast or too slow or skipping beats. It tells us potentially if the person has a blood flow problem to the heart or if they had a prior heart attack.

About Dr. Saks, D.O.:
Dr. Shani S. Saks joined the Arizona Heart Institute in September 2005, following a three-year invasive cardiology fellowship at the Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan. Prior to entering medical school, Dr. Saks completed her undergraduate and Master of Science degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan where she graduated Cum Laude. She received her medical degree from Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in East Lansing, Michigan. Dr. Saks continued her medical education by completing an internal medicine residency at the Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital, where she served as Chief Medicine Resident. Dr. Saks is a Certified Internist by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners. Due to significant and premature heart disease in her own family, Dr. Saks has a strong commitment to patient education, reducing risk of heart disease, preventative medicine and women’s health. Dr. Saks provides services at the Arizona Heart Institute location in central Phoenix.
