Update on Management of Atrial Fibrillation
Presented By: Gurudutt Kulkarni, MD – Electrophysiology, Beacon Health System and Adil Wani, MD – Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, Beacon Health System
Dr. Kulkarni received his medical degree from Jawaharal Nehru Medical College and completed his internship and residency at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He completed his cardiology fellowship and clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases and clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
Dr. Kulkarni is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a member of the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology.
Dr. Adil S. Wani’s father, uncle and late grandfather were all physicians, but it wasn’t until high school that Dr. Wani decided on a career in medicine. “It was fascinating to me how the human body maintains homeostasis and small changes in this balance can lead to an illness. Preventing these small changes and improving an individual’s well-being would further lead to uplifting society. This has been my ultimate goal.”
While there were many reasons to join the team, Dr. Wani chose Beacon because he shares our mission and values. “Beacon and I share the same goal: To enhance the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of communities.”
As an interventional cardiologist, Dr. Wani can deliver on that. “I treat individuals suffering from heart disorders. I consider the heart to be the center of the body. Any disturbance in the heart can cause a significant impact on one’s health. Prevention and treatment of a disease in such a vital organ and its impact on well-being led me to choose this specialty.”
Dr. Wani received his medical degree from the Government Medical College in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. He completed his residency at the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He completed his Cardiology Fellowship and was the Chief Fellow at Advocate Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Though interventional cardiology is his specialty, Dr. Wani has another treatment strategy he uses with all patients. “Patients have taught me the power of listening. Listening to someone with undivided attention is one of the most profound healings one can provide another.”
And because he listens to his patients, Dr. Wani can keep the focus of his work where it matters: his patients. “My philosophy is to keep my treatment plan patient-centered, simple and thorough.”
