Dr. Youssef Al-Saghir, MD, FACC, FSCAI

Interventional Cardiologist
1821 Blanding Blvd, Middleburg, FL
The combination of an interest in electrical engineering and a fascination with the physiology of the heart and the way it works with the rest of the body makes cardiology a perfect choice for Dr. Al-Saghir, who chose medicine as a way to help people and make a difference in their lives. As an interventional cardiologist at FCCI, Dr. Al-Saghir, helps his patients manage chest pain, and structural heart disease, as well as performs interventions on both the heart and the vascular system. “I come from a family of engineers, and I originally followed that family tradition,” he says. “I enjoyed being an engineer, but I had always dreamed of becoming a doctor. Perhaps it was the influence of my family doctor when I was young – I always wanted to be like him. I ended up following my desires and entering medical school. There are actually many similarities, when you think about it – both fields require analytical thinking, and a desire for working with your hands, not just your brain. The human element is the difference, and it’s one of the things I enjoy the most about my profession.” Dr. Al-Saghir is a graduate of the Ross University School of Medicine. He has completed a Cardiovascular Disease fellowship and an Interventional Cardiology fellowship at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. In his work at the University of Utah, Dr. Al-Saghir trained in neurovascular and carotid interventions, PFO closures, and atrial septal defects. Interventional cardiology is not just a fit-it-and-forget-it specialty, says Dr. Al-Saghir. “It’s far more comprehensive than that. Interventional cardiology goes beyond mechanical therapy – it starts with prevention and encompasses pharmacological as well as mechanical therapy. The field has exploded so that we are now able to use interventional cardiac techniques for non-cardiac cases including peripheral vascular disease (PVD), such as the lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD), renal and extra cranial arteries.”
