Vasanth Vedantham, MD, PhD

Assoc. Professor In Residence

CLINICAL INTERESTS: Dr. Vedantham is cardiologist and clinical cardiac electrophysiologist, specializing in treatment of heart rhythm disorders using catheter ablation, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, and antiarrhythmic medications. In addition to treating patients with supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, conduction system disease, cardiac arrest, and syncope, he is particularly interested in inherited arrhythmia syndromes (including long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, and others) as well as inherited and acquired arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, especially cardiac sarcoidosis.

RESEARCH INTERESTS: Dr. Vedantham's research explores the biogenesis of heart rhythm in normal and diseased hearts, with particular interests in sinus node dysfunction, cardiac conduction system disease, and atrial fibrillation. His current focus is on the development and function of pacemaker cells in the sinoatrial node. He has characterized the transcriptome of this rare but critical cell type and identified specific gene regulatory networks active in these cells. His lab is currently focused on building a comprehensive model for development, normal and diseased physiology, and regenerative potential of specialized cells responsible for heart rhythm.
