Dr. Arun K. Kolli is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. He is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Internal Medicine. Dr. Kolli completed his advanced fellowship in Cardiac Electrophysiology at Brown University, Rhode Island Hospital. Dr. Kolli did his General Cardiology and Internal Medicine training at the State University of New York, Syracuse.
Dr. Kolli specializes in radiofrequency ablation for various arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. He is well versed in all the latest techniques with access to the latest equipment. He is also a very high volume operator for implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators and biventricular cardiac defibrillators.
