Bio

Dr. Frederick Han is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine. He obtained his undergraduate and medical degrees from Georgetown University. After completing his Internal Medicine residency at Georgetown University Medical Center, he completed his Cardiology fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he studied outcomes of minimally invasive surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation as well as the biophysics of radiofrequency and cryoablation with Ken Ellenbogen and Mark Wood. He then completed his Cardiac Electrophysiology fellowship at the University of California San Francisco, under the direction of Melvin Scheinman, Jeff Olgin, Ed Gerstenfeld, and Nitish Badhwar. While at UCSF, he studied the use of left atrial appendage ligation for stroke risk reduction in atrial fibrillation patients with Nitish Badhwar and Randall Lee.

 He specializes in cardiac electrophysiology, and has a broad interest in heart rhythm disorders, ranging from slow heart rhythms to irregular heart beats to fast heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular arrhythmias, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. Dr. Han also diagnoses and treats a variety of heart rhythm disorders that occur as a result of coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, cardiac sarcoidosis, long QT syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM), Brugada syndrome, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD).

Dr. Han has a special interest in:

Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular contractions

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter

Catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia, including atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome as well as rare variants such as junctional tachycardia, nodofascicular and nodoventricular tachycardia, para-Hisian atrial tachycardia, and left-sided atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.

Reducing the risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation, including the use of new blood thinning agents, novel catheter-based approaches (including the LARIAT device used for epicardial ligation of the left atrial appendage), and surgical approaches (such as the Atriclip).

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Long QT Syndrome

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Brugada Syndrome

Pacemakers, Implantable Defibrillators, and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Devices

Surgical ablation for arrhythmias
