OverviewAI-generated summary
Hakan Paydak, M.D. is a professor of medicine and director of the cardiac electrophysiology program and laboratory at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in Turkey and completed cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology training at Case Western Reserve University Hospital and the University of Chicago Hospital. Prior to joining UAMS in 2009, Dr. Paydak was on staff at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Dr. Paydak's research has focused on the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias. His publications include studies on in-hospital complications associated with catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, contemporary trends of hospitalization for atrial fibrillation in the United States, and the burden of arrhythmias in patients with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. He has also investigated trends in hospitalization for atrial fibrillation, examining its epidemiology, cost, and future implications.
His work also extends to the utilization of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), with research exploring gender, racial, and health insurance differences in ICD utilization trends. Dr. Paydak is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases, and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the Heart Rhythm Society. His scholarly contributions include 156 publications, with an h-index of 20 and over 2,200 citations.

Research Interests
12 YEARS OF ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY RESEARCH AT UAMS I have had 60 of my 69 peer reviewed publications, with the guidance of Dr. Jay Mehta and contributions of many faculty, fellows, residents and medical students. As a result of this teamwork, we have been honored to receive the Dr. James Marsh Research Award in 2021. Our two main manuscripts were database driven large population studies that were published in Circulation. However, we have also published many purely UAMS patient database driven studies. Our recently published case report in JAMA has paved the way for our study titled: “The Sensitivity of Graphic Trends in Differentiating Sinus and Supraventricular Tachycardia”, which will be published in the Journal of Electrocardiology. The future of our Electrophysiology research efforts at UAMS will utilize Artificial Intelligence to guide us place the left ventricular lead to the best spot in the heart in our NIH sponsored study.; Cardiac Electrophysiology; Atrial Flutter; Atrial fibrillation; Cardiac Arrhythmias; Antiarrhythmic Drugs; Ablation, Radiofrequency Catheter
