Welcome to the 7th Annual International Symposium on Left Atrial Appendage

Director of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service and professor of medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

Dr. Reddy has certifications in cardiac electrophysiology and cardiovascular disease. At Mount Sinai, he leads a team of physician-scientists in cutting-edge clinical and translational research aimed at developing therapies for cardiac arrhythmias and ventricular tachycardias and understanding the role of imaging modalities to guide cardiac electrophysiology procedures. Dr. Reddy’s team has conducted many “first-in-man” studies of novel technologies, including the first use of a balloon cryoablation catheter to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) and the first use of an endoscopic balloon ablation catheter to visually guide ablation of AF. In 2003, he led the team that performed the first image-guided therapy procedures in cardiac electrophysiology, using 3-dimensional images of the heart to guide catheter ablation of AF. Most notable among Dr. Reddy’s numerous published articles, is the report from SMASH-VT (Substrate Mapping and Ablation in Sinus Rhythm to Halt Ventricular Tachycardia), a seminal multicenter clinical trial on ventricular tachycardia ablation, examining the use of prophylactic catheter ablation to prevent shocks in patients receiving defibrillators. Dr. Reddy has or is currently serving as the Principle Investigator for many clinical studies.

Dr. Reddy has received several honors, including being named the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust Professor of Medicine in Cardiac Electrophysiology in 2009 and among the Best Doctors in Boston in 2007. He has received the Center for Minimally Invasive Therapy Fellowship and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholarship and is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Society.

Most recently director of cardiac electrophysiology and associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida, Dr. Reddy also has served as director of the Experimental Electrophysiology Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and as an instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

After earning his MD from the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, Dr. Reddy completed a residency in internal medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut and fellowships in electrophysiology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and in cardiovascular disease at the University of Chicago Hospitals in Illinois.
