Research Interest
Dr. Voigt's research interests include cryoablation for atrial fibrillation and patterns of cardiovascular implantable electronic device utilization. He was one of the earliest physicians in the United States to implant a leadless pacemaker during a "first in human" multicenter trial.
Clinical Interest
Dr. Voigt's clinical interests include comprehensive management of atrial fibrillation in its paroxsymal and persistent forms. Another focus is catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and ventricular tachycardia (VT). He is engaged in the implantation and follow up of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices such as biventricular pacemakers and defibrillators (ICDs). He has implanted leadless pacemakers. In addition, his practice encompasses chronic management of pacemaker and defibrillator leads, including extraction.
Educational Interest
Dr. Voigt is engaged in teaching of medical residents and fellows.
