DIRECTOR, ARIZONA HEART RHYTHM CENTER
Dr. Vijay Swarup has been practicing clinical cardiac electrophysiology in Arizona since 2002. Before joining practice he completed a fellowship in clinical cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Swarup earned his bachelor and medical degrees at the University of Delhi in New Delhi. He continued his education at St. Louis University School of Medicine, completing an internal medicine residency and a research fellowship in molecular cardiology. He completed a Cardiovascular Disease fellowship at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, he then pursued Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, IL.
Dr. Swarup has received specialized training in performing complex arrhythmia treatments including trans-catheter ablations. He has special interest in 3 Dimensional Electroanatomical mapping techniques, left atrial appendage occlusion techniques and ablative therapies for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
In Arizona, Dr. Swarup was among the first to perform epicardial and endocardial 3D mapping guided ablation of ischemic ventricular tachycardias, open irrigated ablations, Robotic catheter ablations for arrhythmias and implantation to left atrial appendage occlusion devices. Dr. Swarup has one of the largest experience in AF and VT ablations and implantation of LAA occlusion devices in the country. Dr. Swarup is also an active researcher of new ablation techniques, having authored numerous abstracts and manuscripts. He has been the principal investigator in many research protocols investigating promising new ablation techniques and devices for treatment of arrhythmias.
Dr. Swarup is board certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
