About
I am an academic cardiac electrophysiologist with over 25 years of experience in this field. My clinical practice focuses on the management of atrial fibrillation with ablation procedures and medication; reducing stroke and bleeding risk with left atrial appendage closure procedures; implantation and management of pacemakers, defibrillators, and loop recorders; and extraction of chronic pacemaker and defibrillator leads. My research interests include the prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac death, and new treatments for atrial fibrillation.
