He will serve as the Director of Cardiology for Summit Health and CityMD on Long Island. His career spans 30 years and includes several areas of expertise. His current concentration is in clinical cardiology and noninvasive advanced cardiovascular imaging including cardiovascular ultrasound, nuclear stress imaging and cardiovascular computed tomography.

Dr. Trazzera efforts include cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment through achieving proper nutrition and prescribed exercise as well as optimal body composition through comprehensive assessment of lifestyle, serologies and cardiometabolic hormone assessment. “I especially like to focus on early cardiovascular disease detection through cardiac and ultrasound screening, stress testing and risk assessment through advanced non-invasive cardiac imaging such as Nuclear PET scanning and computed tomography and calcium score evaluation,” he says.
Most important to Dr. Trazzera during a patient visit is to obtain a detailed medical, family, and social history and assess the patient’s participation in exercise programs. He stresses that early disease detection could impact the patient and their family for years to come.
