About Harikrishna J. Makani
Dr. Makani is a board certified Interventional Cardiologist with a strong background in the field of Hypertension, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (thick heart muscle disease), stress echocardiography and advanced interventional cardiology techniques. An internationally-recognized name in the field of hypertension, he has authored or co-authored more than 50 journal publications, book chapters and abstract publications in top medical journals like Journal of American College of Cardiology, British Medical Journal and European Heart Journal. Dr. Makani has also received numerous awards like Young Investigator Award in American Society of Hypertension meeting, Best research award at Annual research fair award at St. Luke’s Roosevelt hospital to name a few, for his research accomplishments. His research focus mirrors his clinical practice: He looks at care of patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart attack or chest pain, heart failure, complex angioplasties and peripheral vascular disease. A specialist in cutting-edge minimally invasive procedures, such as transradial angioplasty to treat coronary artery disease, Dr. Makani offers procedures that, while still less common at many U.S. hospitals, promise quicker recovery compared to standard methods. For example, he performs transradial angioplasty, which uses a patient’s wrist instead of the groin as the incision point and has a much lower rate of bleeding and faster recovery time. Dr. Makani is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, Nuclear Cardiology and Echocardiography and is a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation.

The provider was not my primary Dr. My primary doctor referred me to ER at Providence St. Mary High Desert. The provider examined me did testing and found I had clogged Arteries, the provider was (Dr. Makani) the Cardiologist . He did the surgery and I am well satisfied with the care I received. He explained how he was going to do the surgery in detail and I was very comfortable with him.

Providence Patient
Overall, my providers, I currently have our above and beyond professional and knowledge based. I think I would recommend my cardiologist spend just a little bit more time explaining to me about how women differ in terms of cardiac care and concerns in comparison to males and signs and symptoms of warning signs of heart, disease or heart attack. I would also like to suggest that even if my labs are within normal range for my provider or practitioner to review my labs or send an email stating that my lab results are good and there is no need to be concerned about any of the resultsI have great confidence in my healthcare providers, and I know they work hard to maintain the integrity of their relationship with their patients and current care needed or renderedI do have to commend my nurse practitioner for my women's healthcare as she has been extremely wonderful, supportive and knowledge based regarding some of my women's health concerns.
