Overview
My research areas of interest include improving the safety and efficacy of complex ablation and optimal use of pacemakers in patients with heart failure, including cardiac resynchronization therapy and conduction system pacing. I am also interested in non-pharmacologic management of atrial fibrillation, including catheter ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion, and understanding optimal use of novel and emerging technologies.

Automatic Threshold Function With Left Bundle Branch Area Versus Traditional Right Ventricular Lead Placement.
Journal Article J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol · June 2025 INTRODUCTION: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) leverages the strengths of His bundle pacing (HBP) and traditional myocardial pacing. While automatic threshold (AT) algorithms are often not suitable for HBP leads, their function in LBBAP remains uncer ...

Journal Article J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol · April 2025 BACKGROUND: The majority of data on left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) are on a lumenless lead. Data on the safety and effectiveness of stylet driven leads are comparatively lacking. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 265 patients who underwent attem ...
