Dr. Ibrahim D. Helmy is a highly regarded cardiologist with over 30 years of professional experience. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of California in 1975. After receiving his medical degree from the same university, the physician continued with specialty training, more specifically two Cardiology residencies and three fellowship programs. In addition to Dr. Ibrahim D. Helmy's active clinical practice, he has gained extensive research experience in the process of becoming a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American College of Cardiology, as well as a member of the American College of Physicians. Regarding healthcare management, the physician has served the Pacific Arrhythmia and Cardiac Electrophysiology Institute as a Medical Director and he chaired the Acute Myocardial Infarction Cardiovascular Committee of Robert F. Kennedy Hospital.
With his training in electrophysiology, the physician is specially equipped to diagnose and treat heart rhythm abnormalities, also known as arrhythmias. At his practice, Dr. Ibrahim D. Helmy performs electrophysiology studies to diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities. If necessary, he implants devices such as pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators to treat arrhythmias and he performs catheter ablations to treat atrial fibrillation. Dr. Ibrahim D. Helmy knows that a preventive approach, centered on a heart-healthy lifestyle, can be challenging and even overwhelming for patients. However, he strives to help his patients manage their cholesterol and lower their risk of heart disease. He is also experienced in helping patients recover from heart attacks. Over the years, the cardiologist has been the recipient of numerous awards, including Top Doctors: LA Area and Top Doctors: Southern California.
