His clinical interests include the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and the prevention of sudden death, arrhythmic stroke and recurrent syncope. His current research interests include the impact of the cardio-metabolic syndrome on atrial fibrillation and health care economics. He was the principal investigator for the national SDD-ICD trial that randomized 600 defibrillator patients to same day versus next day discharge post implantation. To improve the value of cardiovascular care, Dr. Suri is pioneering experiments in remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices and other physiologic signals from ambulatory patients.
