Arun Mahankali Sridhar, M.D., M.P.H., is a cardiac electrophysiologist and a specialist in heart rhythm disorders. He is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Washington.

Dr. Sridhar's sees patients with both rapid and slow heart rhythm disorders, as well as patients with a risk of sudden cardiac death. He has comprehensive expertise in management of both common and complicated arrhythmias. He is an expert in catheter ablations for atrial fibrillation; atrial flutters (both typical and complex), supraventricular tachycardia, WPW, ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular complexes (PVCs); stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, including left atrial appendage closure; In addition he is an experienced implanter of all types of cardiac device therapy, including cardiac pacemakers; implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Dr. Sridhar finds great satisfaction in building active partnerships with his patients their families, and their other healthcare providers to achieve the best possible outcomes. His goal is to ensure the treatment objectives are individualized for each patient; and procedures and medications are optimized keeping patients’ best interests, values and life circumstances in mind. Dr Sridhar’s team works hard to minimize hardships and hurdles for patients and their families as they navigate through their procedures and the recuperation process.

Dr. Sridhar’s research focuses on improving ablation techniques and patient outcomes in atrial arrhythmias. He collaborates with the UW computer science and bio-engineering department on various innovation projects to improve the care of heart rhythm patients utilizing advanced computing and novel low-cost patient accessible technologies.
