Electrophysiology Program

The CVRTI Electrophysiology Program studies how the heart’s electrical system generates and coordinates each heartbeat, how dangerous arrhythmias arise, and how electrical signals can be used to diagnose cardiac events. Using a range of approaches, including cellular and clinical electrophysiology, advanced imaging, computational modeling, and animal models, the program investigates fundamental mechanisms of cardiac electrical activity, maps arrhythmias, and works toward developing new diagnostic tools and therapies to improve heart rhythm, patient safety, and quality of life.
