Clinical Electrophysiology Services research activity consists of basic research and clinical electrophysiology. Electrophysiology focuses on the rhythm of the heart. Basic EP research activities are focused on
the advancement in the development of tools to ablate (cauterize) reentrant
supraventricular arrhythmias that are focused above the ventricals of
the heart, and precursors of complex cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial
fibrillation. To this end, members have developed and proven the use
of ultrasound energy as a suitable energy form to ablate cardiac tissue.
Ongoing research consists of cooperation with industry to evaluate the
ultrasound ablation equipment. |
