Dr. Himanshu Shukla's focus is on the treatment of heart rhythm disorders. The most common type of heart rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation. Permanent or longstanding atrial fibrillation used to be called chronic atrial fibrillation. This type lingers even after treatment has been given.

"Dr. Himanshu H. Shukla, M.D., specializes in treating heart rhythm disorders and is founder of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (CAI) dedicated to providing heart care customized to the individual. Dr. Shukla is a member of the Heart Rhythm Society, has completed training at Columbia University in New York City, the University of Missouri and the University of Oklahoma. He is recognized for numerous published articles on the treatment of heart rhythm disorders, and by the American Heart Association for Outstanding Research. Dr. Shukla’s community works include raising awareness of heart rhythm disorders, safety and prevention measures through speeches, training and counsel; and contributing external defibrillators to local public schools and other entities."

Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
