Biography


Sanjiv Narayan is Professor of Medicine, Director of the Stanford NIH T32 CHIP (Computational medicine in the Heart: Integrated Program HL166155), and is Co-Founder of the Stanford Arrhythmia Center. He directs the Computational Arrhythmia Research Lab (CARL), that operates at the intersection of cardiovascular medicine, bioengineering, and data science. CARL pioneered computational mapping of 'chaotic' heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias), targeting mechanistic drivers for atrial and ventricular fibrillation (AF, VF), that included collaborating with multiple centers worldwide. Dr. Narayan is recipient of the Distinguished Scientist Award of the Heart Rhythm Society (2022), the "Top Doctor" award from Castle Connolly (2017-2024) and other awards. Our talented trainees have won an average of 2-3 prizes or grants every year since 2003.

Dr. Narayan was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, then his parents Prakash and Kamalini moved to Birmingham UK. Dr Narayan trained in medicine (MB, ChB 1987) and software engineering focused on neural networks (MSc, 1990) in Birmingham UK, then moved to UCLA to train in computational neuroscience in the Laboratory of Neuroimaging directed by Dr. Arthur Toga , where he developed an integrated optical mapping/image processing workstation to study somatosensory cortex (Research MD, 1995). He pursued further training in Information and Data Science at UC Berkeley (2022-). Dr. Narayan gained membership (MRCP, 1990) and fellowship (FRCP, 1995) of the Royal College of Physicians of London, then trained in Internal medicine at Harvard/Mount Auburn Hospital under Dr. Charles Hatem (1994-6), and Cardiology/EP at Washington University/Barnes hospital (1996-2001) where his computational research led to his K23 award under Drs Michael Cain, Joseph Smith and Bruce Lindsay. Dr. Narayan is a devoted family man, and he and his wife Sujata (Family Practice, Stanford) have 3 children. Together, they enjoy music, working out at the gym, swimming, biking and skiing, discussing history and politics, and travel.

Dr Narayan is extremely knowledgeable and attractive to details .
Dr Narayan is very personable and easy to communicate with. I trust his diagnosis of my AF symptoms and the therapy he’s prescribed
excellent
Outstanding.
Very helpful - thoughtful, answered my questions.
Dr. Narayan provides me with positive support and feedback during my visits with him. He is compassionate, detail-oriented and spends time with his patients.
Dr, Narayan is an outstanding physician who is extremely helpful in educating the patient about the medical problem that he is treating. In addition, I am very impressed by how Dr, Narayan listens to his patient's concerns, and also he treats the patient with complete respect. Overall, I am very pleased with Dr. Narayan's comprehensive medical knowledge that he shared with me today, and I am grateful for his excellent physician-patient care communication and his extremely thoughtful approach to patient care during my visit with him today. Please record me as a patient who is highly satisfied with Dr, Narayan as my physican.
I had met Dr. Sarayan only once briefly during a hospital stay and so was a little skeptical of a video visit, as first real acquaintance. I was impressed with his friendliness, his precise and relevant questioning of my symptoms, etc. and the fact that he had my records available both from PAMF and my stays in the hospital. His recommendations for the next step were clear, although I am not sure what the next step is for me. My husband asked if he could send notes from the visit, and he readily agreed. I expect we will be in touch with his office in the next few days.
I like how he can assess my condition and recommend a treatment
Dr Narayan is very good and knowledgeable doctor
I have only positive comments to say about Sanjiv Narayan.. He is a model for others. Not only is he a highly skilled physician, but he is caring.and kind. He listens intently and responds to all my questions. I feel very fortunate to have him as my physician.
He's the best!
Excellent visit. I understand the plan that is laid out, and have more confidence in it as you have a holistic view... and are the only specialist at the moment who does. I feel more at ease and am confident that I am in good hands.
Always a pleasure to met with Doctor Narayan. He answers my questions and concerns well. When we conclude we always have a plan going forward which is very assuring. I'm glad that Doctor Narayan is on my side. Thank you.

Dr. Narayan was excellent. He took the time to listen carefully and asked very good questions. He involved me through out. Although it wasn’t at all necessary, he apologized for taking a few notes. He is obviously very analytical, logical and very knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease. He explained everything so clearly. I liked how he made suggestions for how to move forward and included me in this process. I am so pleased that he is now my cardiac electrophysiologist.
AN EXCELLENT PHYSICIAN AND STANFORD IS LUCKY TO HAVE HIM ON THE STAFF.
Dr Narayan is the most competent Professor to treat Afib ..I just talked to him for few minutes last year before the procedure on the phone as the video didn’t work and today He remembered me as if I had seen yesterday. .Besides just before my procedure last year he got a medical emergency for himself so he referred me to dr Perino who did the procedure Dr Perino worked on my heart almost for 5 hours and came to see me showing me the very colorful pictures of my heart mapping just few hours later. He was very helpful and recomforting when I came home just3 days after the ablation on a long plane trip with severe heart problems du to the fatigue of the trip. Fortunately they didn’t last , but his team of nurses where calling almost everyday with checking and advices Overall it was a wonderful experience The best by far of my two previous ablations Thank you so much Drs Perrine et Narayan.
Excellent physician

Dr. Narayan is the best! He’s humbly worked hard and attentively on my behalf for 2 years, culminating in the collaboration with Dr. Anson Lee, who performed my surgery last Dec. After 8 years total of struggling with AFib symptoms, seeking treatment, and major insurance battles, my heart is calm and I’m profoundly grateful for the role Dr. Narayan has played. We’ve had fun in the midst of the struggles, which has actually helped my heart to heal.

Good cardiologist. The communication on video is as good as it could have been if we met in office. Given the covid situation, the video is a preferred medium for me and probably for the doctor as well.

I was made to feel I had been heard and that I was now in good hands moving forward.

very warm and engaging.Extremly helpful and professional
He is terrific - caring & informed - best cardiologist I've ever had.
Both Dr. Narayan and the Fellow, AJ, who initially spoke with me, were fabulous. What was most meaningful to me, and frankly a relief, is that not only are they clearly brilliant, but their humanity is firmly intact. I was talking to grounded, kind, down-to-earth human beings. Having dealt with dismissive, highly intellectual, harried cardiologists in the past 6 years, this was a most welcome relief that had a strongly positive impact on my overall sense of well-being. I felt heard, cared for, supported, like I am in good hands. Dr. N. and I ended up talking about the music they play during ablations and he promised to play Motown, my favorite. What I loved about this part of the exchange, which could have seemed frivolous, but wasn't at all to me, was the joyfulness of it. The human heart needs the brilliance and technical expertise that can easily be found in the world of cardiology, but the heart needs equal measures of kindness, joy, compassion and empathy to heal. To refer back to the awful welcome by the coordinators, it is mind-boggling that people like them are allowed anywhere near cardiac patients!!! More than anyone, really, we need TLC, kindness, love, compassion, and yes...joy!! All of this is what heals the heart.
Dr. Narayan is a real gen! I am fortunate to have him as my doctor.
Always a pleasant visit.
My doctors are truly world-class. I am honored to have them work on my case. Their humility and intelligence is remarkable.
I am privileged to be a patient of this great physician.
Dr. Narayan is outstanding!

Dr. Narayan is by far the most knowledgeable - Kindest physician I have seen.
Wonderful care
Very helpful & informative explanation given to us by the provider for the treatment & medication prescribed for the problem & condition.
Wow! Dr. Narayan is one of several EPs that I have interviewed for my ablation. He & his staff are the ONLY ones who asked about my personal safety at home.
Good experience.
Way beyond excellent experience.
Amazing!
