He performed the first treatment of atrial fibrillation with cryoablation in Nevada and established this program at Mountainview Hospital. He has been recognized as an innovator in bringing advanced technology to Las Vegas and is well versed with robotic navigation for ablation. Because of his efforts, Las Vegas patients had access to the latest MRI-compatible defibrillators well before patients in many surrounding states.

Dr. Narula, in collaboration with Dr. Jeffrey Levisman, Dr. Thomas Lambert and Dr. Alfred Danielian, started the Watchman program at Mountainview Hospital. The Watchman device is used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation without the bleeding risks associated with the use of blood thinners. In 2019, Mountainview Hospital completed 100 implants and the team at Mountainview has the most experience in Las Vegas.

Dr. Narula has been recognized by his colleagues as an outstanding physician in the community. He has served on the Cardiac Safety Research Consortium, a collaboration between Duke University and the FDA, to advance safety of pharmaceuticals in development.
