Biography

Dr. Koneru joined the Pauley Heart Center’s cardiac electrophysiology team in 2012. Today, he serves as director of clinical cardiac electrophysiology and pacing at VCU Health; a professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiology within the VCU School of Medicine; and program director for VCU’s cardiac electrophysiology fellowship.

Dr. Koneru earned his medical degree from the Osmania Medical College, an institution with thirteen teaching hospitals and one of the oldest medical colleges in India. He completed his residency and chief residency in internal medicine at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. He was recognized by his peers as "outstanding physician of the year" in every year of his residency. His fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology was completed right here at VCU.

Dr. Koneru's expertise includes the entire gamut of clinical electrophysiology. He is a nationally recognized expert in the field of conduction system pacing and complex ablations that include epi- and endocardial mapping and ablation for supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias. He performs cryo-balloon, pulse-field and radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation as well as ethanol ablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Dr. Koneru's skills extend to complex lead management issues, and he has performed numerous lead extractions with laser assisted technologies and femoral snares and has experience with autonomic modulation for ventricular tachyarrhythmias and cardioinhibitory syncope.

Dr. Koneru's research interests include mapping and ablation of complex arrhythmias, post-operative atrial tachycardias; atrial fibrillation; ventricular tachycardias in LVAD patients and shock reduction in patients with ICDs; and ablation with hybrid approach for supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias. He is actively involved in clinical trials of investigational mapping technologies for atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardias. Dr. Koneru's research and editorials have appeared in highly respected journals such as the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Heart Rhythm and PACE, Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and New England Journal of Medicine Evidence. He is the consulting editor for Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics.

Koneru currently serves as vice chair of the Scientific Documents Committee of the Heart Rhythm Society; in this role, he oversees the development and endorsement of scientific statements, state of the art reviews, clinical decision pathways, and white papers relevant to the needs and clinical practice of heart rhythm teams.
