Research line
Modeling and simulation of cardiac electrical activity in healthy and diseased hearts, including:
- Investigation of atrial arrhythmias: atrial activation and manifestations on electrogram (EGM) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals
- Investigation of ventricular arrhythmias: mechanisms underlying the onset of reentrant arrhythmias and assessment of pro-arrhythmic risk based on ECG biomarkers
- Dynamic modeling of myocardial ischemia
- Stochastic modeling of ionic current fluctuations in ventricular cells: contribution to temporal and spatial repolarization variability.
