Matters of the Heart with Cardiologist Doctor Ammar Hallak
About this episode
Dr. Ammar Hallak discusses heart health, patient care, and the importance of lifestyle choices.
Dr. Ammar Hallak is an interventional cardiologist whose journey began in Damascus, Syria and eventually led him to Paragould, where he has spent decades caring for patients and investing in the community. After early inspiration as a teenager, he pursued medicine in the United States, training in Chicago at one of the largest hospital systems in the country before ultimately finding a home here in Northeast Arkansas. In this episode, we talk about the realities of heart health in everyday life, including the habits and risks many people overlook and how small, consistent choices can shape long term outcomes. Dr. Hallak also shares insights from his work in the cath lab, the importance of humility and knowing your limits in high pressure environments, and why taking time to listen remains one of the most important parts of caring for people well.
