Research Interests & Focus

Dr. Ankur A. Karnik has interests in the epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and has been involved with the Systemic Assessment of Geriatric Elements in Atrial Fibrillation (SAGE-AF), which is a prospective cohort study of older adults with AF. The association between demographic, clinical, geriatric and patient reported factors on choice of treatment strategy for AF was evaluated.
His other research efforts have focused on sensing issues in subcutaneous defibrillators and hybrid pacing systems. He is currently the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator for several clinical trials involving pacing therapies as well as AF ablation.
Dr. Karnik has written several peer-reviewed academic papers, review articles, book chapters, and abstracts.
