One Mission · One Cardiac Surgeon & One Cardiologist · Greater Impact
A Revolution
in Cardiac Care
Starts Here
A unique partnership of a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist focused on prevention and reversal, not intervention. We have joined forces because we both believe patients deserve a better path than the one medicine keeps offering them.

Why this matters
Heart disease shouldn't remain the world's leading killer.
Almost all of modern cardiac care is built to treat heart disease after it develops — with stents, with bypasses, with a lifetime of prescriptions. Very little of it is built to stop the disease from starting. That is the gap this partnership exists to close.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide — decades after we learned how to prevent most of it.
88%
of people are metabolically unhealthy and at risk of chronic disease and premature death.
1 in 13
people worldwide are living with cardiovascular disease right now.

Why we've come together
People ask me all the time if I know another physician who practices the way I do.
For years, I didn't have an answer.
When I met Dr. Malhotra, I knew we'd been fighting the same battle from different sides of medicine.

Meet Dr. Malhotra
The cardiologist who kept
arriving at the same answer.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a consultant cardiologist with more than 25 years in medicine. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2001, trained and practised in the NHS, and has spent the last decade in private practice — most recently based in London, and consulting with patients around the world online.
He is one of the UK's most recognised cardiologists and an internationally known voice on cardiovascular and population health. His specialist interest is preventive cardiology: understanding what actually causes heart disease, and how much of it can be stopped with lifestyle before a catheter or a scalpel is ever needed. Much of his public work has focused on nutrition, on the role of metabolic health in cardiac risk, and on giving patients honest, complete information so they can make their own decisions about their treatment.
In other words: a heart surgeon spent his career trying to prevent operations, and an interventional cardiologist spent his trying to prevent procedures. Neither of them knew the other existed.

Areas of expertise
What Dr. Malhotra
treats — and prevents.
The same eight conditions that fill cardiology clinics are the eight that respond best to root-cause care. That's not a coincidence.
Preventive Cardiology
Finding and reversing cardiac risk years before it becomes a diagnosis.
Coronary Heart Disease
Assessment and management of narrowed or diseased coronary arteries.
Cholesterol
Interpreting the full lipid picture — not just one number on a lab report.
Statins
Honest, evidence-based conversations about benefit, risk and alternatives.
Obesity & Metabolic Risk
Treating the metabolic dysfunction that drives most cardiovascular disease.
Hypertension
Getting blood pressure under control — and finding out why it rose.
Angina
Diagnosing chest pain accurately and treating the cause behind it.
Heart Failure
Protecting and improving heart function with a whole-patient approach.
Different specialties. Shared philosophy.
Two doctors. Two disciplines.
One conclusion.
We meet heart disease at different stages, with different tools. We spend our careers trying to make our own specialty unnecessary.

What his patients say
Treated like a person,
not a number.
“Truly refreshing! Instead of defaulting to meds he took the time to review my complete health picture — labs, imaging, lifestyle, and personal risk factors. We had an open, evidence-based discussion about risks and benefits, and I felt respected.”
“Dr. Malhotra is so approachable and precise with his consultation and instructions. I am treated like a person, not a number. I value his advice and feel confident he makes the best decisions to protect my health.”
“Extremely professional. Took the time to listen and understood my problems. Gave good advice that is useful in everyday life. A doctor who has integrity and dares to think outside the box. Highly recommended!”
Verified reviews from Dr. Malhotra's independent patient review profile — 5.0 average across 74 reviews.
What comes next
This is bigger
than one practice.
Bringing Dr. Malhotra on board lets Ovadia Heart Health reach more patients than either of us could alone. But the goal was never just a bigger practice. It's a different standard of cardiac care.
The North Star
1,000,000
Lives saved
Every stent avoided, every bypass prevented, every metabolic condition reversed. One patient at a time, until the number is real.
02
Fewer unnecessary procedures
Intervene when it genuinely helps — and not by default.
03
Expand metabolic healthcare
Make root-cause care available to far more people, in far more places.
04
Influence healthcare policy
Push prevention from the footnote to the foundation of cardiac guidelines.
05
Educate physicians
Give clinicians the metabolic training medical school never gave them.
06
Empower patients
Informed consent, real numbers, and a genuine say in your own treatment.
07
Build a movement
Because two doctors can't change cardiac care. A movement can.
