Professor

Research Interests:
Mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac electrophysiology. Catheter ablation of arrhythmogenic foci.

Summary:
My current research interests involve looking at mechanisms of supraventricular arrhythmias with respect to ablative therapy. In addition, we have initiated a cardiac genetic arrhythmic clinic Ð to help define newer genes in causation of serious ventricular arrhythmias.

We are also studying the mechanism of atypical atrial flutter in humans. We have described the occurrence of double-wave reentry (1), and have extended these observations to describe an entity known as lower-loop reentry (2) which is also isthmus dependent. We have described a new type of atypical atrial flutter involving the left membranous septum and this work was presented at the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology meetings (3).
