About Dr. Omar Aziz Rana

About Dr. Omar Aziz Rana: Prof. Dr. Omar Aziz Rana is an internationally trained interventional cardiologist and heart specialist in Lahore with more than two decades of specialized experience in treating coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease. He completed his MBBS at King Edward Medical University before traveling to the UK for postgraduate medical and cardiology training, earning his MRCP (UK), a Doctorate in Medicine (DM) from the University of Southampton, and his Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Cardiology from the UK’s General Medical Council. He then completed a two-year Advanced Interventional Cardiology fellowship at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, one of the UK’s busiest interventional units, qualifying in rotational atherectomy (rotablation), laser atherectomy, intravascular ultrasound, pressure-wire haemodynamic assessment, optical coherence tomography, and the treatment of chronic total occlusions in the heart’s arteries.

Dr. Omar Aziz Rana is the founder and medical and cath lab director of Omar Hospital & Cardiac Centre, a leading cardiac hospital in Lahore with branches on Jail Road and in Johar Town. As a cardiovascular doctor, he treats patients with a wide range of heart problems, from routine blockages to some of the most technically difficult cases in the country. His expertise focuses on coronary rotablation, using a rotablator to treat severely calcified blockages in the coronary artery, including complex lesions in the right coronary artery that many other centers cannot safely open. In 2016, he became the first cardiologist in Pakistan to be locally appointed as a Boston Scientific Proctor for rotablation angioplasty, and he continues to lead the nationwide adoption of advanced calcified-artery treatment techniques, using carefully selected rotablator burr sizes matched to each patient’s anatomy. For patients searching for a heart specialist in Lahore, a trusted cardiac doctor, or the best cardiac hospital in Lahore for complex coronary care, his research-driven, patient-centered approach has earned the trust of patients and colleagues alike.
