Coronary artery disease often results from a build-up of fatty materials in the arteries of the heart, which inevitably can lead to a life-threatening heart attack. Modern advances in heart care allow doctors the opportunity to detect and treat a great number of these patients through non-surgical means, including medications, and lifestyle and diet modifications.
Dr. Srivastava received his medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, TN. He went on to perform his internship and residency in internal medicine at Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, OH. He then performed a fellowship in cardiology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr. Srivastava is a member of the American Medical Association and the American College of Cardiology. He is board-certified in internal medicine, nuclear cardiology and cardiovascular disease.
