VIDEO: Dr. Himanshu H. Shukla Outlines The Electrical System Tests For The Heart
Dr. Shukla answers the question, "How Do You Outline Electrical System Tests For The Heart?" Dr. Himanshu H. Shukla 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:
The way I would kind of outline it is diagnostic is the electrophysiologic study, we then provoke the arrhythmia so the diagnostic is "I want to look and study your electrical system, identify the abnormality." If there is a slow heart rhythm disorder, we generally treat those types of disorders with pacemakers or device therapy.
If there are fast heart rhythm disorders, they can be amenable to catheter mapping which localizes the arrhythmia and then following that, once the arrhythmia is localized, we could then use ablation technology to deliver energy and burn it out and thereby cure the arrhythmia.

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.
Dr. Shukla has completed post doctoral training in electrophysiology at the
University of Oklahoma/Oklahoma City which is recognized as a world leader
in treating heart rhythm disorders, participating in an Advanced Fellowship
in Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology. He also acquired post-doctoral
training at the University of Missouri-Columbia, completing a Fellowship in
Cardiovascular Medicine, and spent his residency for internal medicine at
Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons’ St. Luke’s–Roosevelt
Hospital Center, New York.
In 2003, he was honored by the American Heart Association, receiving its
third Annual Cardiology Fellows Forum of Excellence Award.
Dr. Shukla serves on the medical journal review boards of the Journal of
Cardiovascular Research: Journal of the European Society of Cardiology; and
the Heart Rhythm Journal, the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society.
His work has been published on several occasions in medical journals such as
the Heart Rhythm Journal; the Journal of Interventional Cardiac
Electrophysiology (JICE); Cardiovascular Research; and PACE, the official
journal of the International Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology Society.
His teachings include Advanced Physical Diagnosis as well as presently
participating in an Electrocardiogram Lectureship at the Arizona State
University School of Nursing.
Dr. Shukla speaks regularly throughout the country on the topic of heart
arrhythmia, is recognized nationally by his peers on intervention, and is
consulted often on the use and development of defibrillators, pacemakers and
other devices to regulate the heart.
Founder of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute based in Mesa, Ariz., Dr. Shukla
also leads a nonprofit foundation dedicated to providing education and
awareness of heart arrhythmia and contributes defibrillators to schools and
other facilities within the community.
Dr. Shukla presently has a provisional patent application pending. He is
fluent in Spanish and Gujurati.
