Dr. Mohammad Atikur Rahman

Dr. Mohammad Atikur Rahman is a Consultant in Cardiology with a focus on clinical and interventional cardiology. His qualifications include MBBS, BCS (Health) and an MD in Cardiology. His field covers the assessment and management of heart-related conditions, including problems that may require specialised cardiac procedures. Patients with cardiovascular symptoms or an existing heart diagnosis can consult him to review their medical history, understand investigation results and discuss suitable treatment options.

Heart disease can present with chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness or unusual tiredness. These symptoms may have several causes, so a proper medical assessment is important. Depending on the patient's condition, investigations may include an ECG, echocardiogram, blood tests or other cardiac studies. Sharing when symptoms occur, how long they last and whether they appear during physical activity can help the doctor evaluate the problem.

Interventional cardiology involves catheter-based procedures used to diagnose or treat selected heart and blood vessel conditions. For example, coronary angiography can help identify narrowing in the arteries supplying the heart, while angioplasty may be considered for suitable patients with blocked arteries. Not every patient requires an intervention; the decision depends on test results, symptoms, overall health and clinical findings. Patients should discuss the expected benefits, possible risks and alternatives before a procedure.

Dr. Mohammad Atikur Rahman sees patients at Padma Diagnostic Center Ltd, Dhaka. Patients preparing for a consultation may bring previous cardiac reports, blood pressure readings, laboratory results and a current medication list. Asking about treatment goals and follow-up arrangements can help clarify the care plan. Sudden chest pain, severe breathlessness, cold sweating or fainting may indicate a medical emergency and requires immediate hospital care.
