Academic Interests

Dr. Upadhyay is an interventional electrophysiologist with academic interests in the management of complex arrhythmias, innovative left ventricular (LV) lead targeting for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and integrative approaches for device-based population management in heart failure. He has co-authored or presented over 70 original publications, oral presentations, book chapters, and abstracts. In addition, he has been the co-investigator on single-center and multicenter CRT trials utilizing advanced cardiac therapeutics such as multisite LV lead pacing, autonomic modulation, and utilizing device-based diagnostics and sensors to reduce HF hospitalization. The Heart Rhythm Society recognized him with the 2011 Max Schaldach Research Fellowship in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology which he utilized to pursue advanced training in clinical trials, completing the Harvard School of Public Health’s Program in Clinical Effectiveness.
