The University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center continues its 2020 Green Valley Lecture Series with "Heart Rhythm Disorders: What's the Role of Medications and Technology?" presented by Dr. Peter Ott, associate professor of medicine at the College of Medicine – Tucson.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia. While sometimes asymptomatic, it often causes symptoms such as heart racing, lightheadedness and shortness of breath. It is also a well-known risk factor for stroke. Medical therapies aim to alleviate symptoms and reduce stroke risk. New technologies have greatly advanced the ability to detect (screen) for AF and improved procedure-based therapies that can reduce AF in many patients. Recent research has shown strategies to reduce AF without needing medication or procedures.

Dr. Ott is a member of the Sarver Heart Center, associate professor of medicine at the College of Medicine – Tucson and holder of the Peter Ott, M.D., Endowed Chair of Electrophysiology at the Sarver Heart Center. He practices at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson.
