Main lines of research
• Non-invasive markers based on ECG pathology characterization and arrhythmia risk identification. The main target is to search for non-invasive indices that predict malignant arrhythmic risk and, at the same time, improve the personalized treatment decision, like the implantation of ICD.
• Intra-cavitary electrogram signal processing (EGM) to improve surgery planning and therapy delivery. The main target is the ablation procedures guiding. (from AF, focal VT, or slow conduction channel at ventricles) based on information derived from EGM recorded during intervention, so to obtain successful procedures with minimal collateral damage at cardiac tissue.
• Modeling and Simulation of Cardiac Electrophysiology. The electrophysiological bases of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia are still largely unknown. A strategy is proposed to better dig into the knowledge of these bases by multi-scale computational modeling, so allowing improvements in the design of drugs targeting specific ion channel, and better characterizations of the information underlying the ECG and EGM signals through more robust markers.
• Evaluation and non-invasive quantification of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS has a very important regulatory role in situations such as physiologic (exercise, stress, emotions ...) as well as
