Dr. Arman sights three key reasons that inspired him to pursue a career in medicine.

"My father and two uncles are doctors, which greatly influenced my decision. I wanted to be part of the mission to help others, just as they have positively impacted many lives."

He describes cardiology as an intriguing field due to the advanced technology that enables patients to lead longer, healthier lives.

“I once treated a 39-year-old woman whose heart unexpectedly stopped. During her procedure in the catheterization lab, we discovered that her heart function was critically low. After we placed a pump in her heart, she made a full recovery. Without this heart pump technology, she likely wouldn’t have survived.”

Dr. Arman emphasizes the importance of establishing a direct connection with patients as a critical element of successful treatment.

"Many of my patients live with chronic heart conditions that can be both debilitating and frightening. I strive to understand their experiences from their perspective. Building trust is essential; when patients feel that I can relate to them, it fosters a stronger bond. With that trust established, we can collaboratively implement their treatment plan as a team."
