<p>Dr. Guttenplan is committed to improving the patient's quality of life and prognosis across the spectrum of heart rhythm disorders. All contemporary approaches including pacemakers, defibrillators, catheter ablations, and left atrial appendage occlusion devices are drawn upon to achieve this aim.</p>

Research Focus

<p>Dr. Guttenplan is the principle investigator at Montefiore in an outcomes study of a left ventricular quadrapolar pacing lead. During the study he as adapted the use of an interventional snare technique. This approach has allowed for successful left ventricular lead placement, that would not have been possible with the conventional approach. Dr. Guttenplan is also a co-investigator in the division's ablation studies.</p>
