Board certified in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, Dr. Sanjiv M. Narayan teaches medicine, cardiology, and bioengineering as a professor at Stanford University. Dr. Sanjiv Narayan also co-founded the Stanford Arrhythmia Center, which develops world-class therapies for heart-rhythm disorders.
Disorders treated at the center include atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition characterized by an abnormal heart rhythm that causes fatigue and heart palpitations. The center’s staff and specialists provide comprehensive care for patients with AFib using the least invasive techniques possible. Patient treatment begins with two essential steps: stroke assessment and management, followed by the restoration of normal heart rhythm and rate.
Every patient at the center receives a care plan based on a thorough evaluation of his or her risk for a stroke. The plan outlines the necessary medications and advanced treatments to manage strokes. The second step focuses on restoring the heart’s normal rhythm and rate and relieving associated symptoms. While the center’s care staff prioritize finding the most minimally invasive approaches, treatments can range from medication to lifestyle changes. Furthermore, doctors may consider ways to alleviate related heart disorders.
If minimally invasive approaches fail to correct AFib symptoms, the center offers a variety of procedures carried out by skilled doctors and surgeons. Doctors collaborate with patients to determine the best possible approach, which may include electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation, or maze surgery.
