Krista Zachariah, MD

What are some of the specific conditions you treat?

I treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, valvular heart disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. I also have a particular interest in cardiovascular prevention and women’s heart disease.

What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?

I utilize a variety of non-invasive cardiovascular diagnostic techniques, including transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), exercise and nuclear stress testing, electrocardiograms (EKGs), ambulatory cardiac monitoring, and vascular ultrasound.

Describe some of your professional highlights. 

I completed an accelerated BA/MD program through Drexel University College of Medicine and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical Society. I subsequently completed both my internal medicine residency and cardiovascular disease fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian - Weill Cornell Medical Center, where I served as Chief Cardiology Fellow during my final year of fellowship.
