About Dr. Jaffar Raza

Dr. Jaffar Raza is an interventional cardiologist whose approach to care centers on precision, prevention, and partnership. He takes time to understand each patient as a whole person, developing individualized care plans focused on long-term cardiovascular health. His goal is for every patient to feel informed, reassured, and confident in their treatment decisions. He is committed to advancing technology-enabled, data-driven cardiovascular care and serves as the principal investigator for the TRANSFORM Study at Holy Name. This study uses advanced coronary imaging technology to detect arterial plaque and identify heart disease risk earlier and more accurately than traditional methods. The evolving focus of modern cardiology, he believes, is shifting from reacting to heart disease toward predicting and preventing it. Dr. Raza specializes in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures, including complex coronary interventions that open blocked arteries without surgery, enabling faster recovery and improved outcomes. In addition to coronary care, he has extensive expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular and venous disease, managing conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), limb ischemia, carotid disease, and chronic venous disorders. Using advanced imaging and catheter-based therapies, he focuses on restoring circulation, relieving symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. A respected researcher and educator, Dr. Raza has published in leading medical journals and presented internationally. He earned his medical degree from Stanley Medical College, University of Madras in Chennai, India, and completed his internal medicine residency at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. He went on to complete fellowships in geriatrics and cardiovascular disease at East Carolina University, followed by a fellowship in interventional cardiology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Dr. Raza is proud to practice at Holy Name.
