Updates on our latest paper in Nature Cardiovascular Research
We have received a lot of publicity following Dr. Dan Popescu’s publication in Nature Cardiovascular Research. The cover of the journal’s April issue was designed by Dr. Kimberly Popescu (Dan’s wife!), featuring a schematic of a neural network embedded in cardiac tissue. Dr. Natalia Trayanova was recently interviewed by NBC Washington, Read more…

AI Predicts If and When Someone will Experience Cardiac Arrest
A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. The technology, built on raw images of patient’s diseased hearts and patient backgrounds, significantly improves on doctor’s predictions and stands to revolutionize clinical decision making and increase survival from sudden and lethal cardiac Read more…

New heart modeling method may help doctors pump the brakes on sudden cardiac death
A team led by Johns Hopkins engineers has found that modeling the heart in 3D using combined imaging techniques can help predict heart rhythm abnormalities, called arrhythmias, in patients with a genetic heart disease. This approach could one day help clinicians determine which patients with a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Read more…

AF Symposium 2020: Cryoablation pulmonary vein isolation is safe and effective for persistent atrial fibrillation at one year
Hugh Calkins (Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, USA) told delegates attending the AF Symposium 2020 (23–25 January, Washington, DC, USA) that cryoablation with the Arctic Front catheter (Medtronic) was a safe and effective approach for managing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). He added that the procedure also improves quality of life and reduces symptoms.
