Research line

Nonivasive atrial fibrillation diagnosis, characterization, prediction, and risk stratification from the ECG, including:

  1. Development of ECG-based automatic AF detection.
  2. Development of signal processing and mathematical modelling techniques for the characterization of AF episode patterns in paroxysmal AF.
  3. Identification of ECG-based biomarkers for AF / stroke risk stratification.
  4. Identification of ECG-based markers associated with the presence of other atrial cardiomyopathies including fibrosis and atrial hypertrophy.
  5. ECG-based ventricular vulnerability risk markers measurable during AF rhythm

 

with the ultimate goal of improving risk assessment as well as better understanding arrhythmia progression.
