Summary
- I am a practicing invasive cardiac electrophysiologist and outcomes researcher at Stanford University Cardiac Arrhythmia Service and the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.
My research program aims to improve the treatment of heart rhythm disorders by understanding quality of care, comparative effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of medical and invasive treatments for heart rhythm disorders. His TREAT-AF cohort study includes 350,000 patients with new atrial fibrillation, making it the largest and most comprehensive cohort study of AF. We have research support from American Heart Association, Veterans Health Administration, NIH, and private foundations to support his work. Dr. Turakhia is a recipient of the ACC Merck Foundation Postdoctoral Research Award and AHA Laennec Society Young Clinician Award.
I enjoy spending time with my family, cycling, and mastering the art of creating the perfect shot of espresso.
