A multidisciplinary team of computational and clinical researchers from Johns Hopkins University, led by Yingnan Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate at Trayanova Lab, has made significant strides in cardiac research through the development of an innovative strategy called the “genotype-specific digital Read more…
Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor in Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, is part of an international research team selected to receive $8 million from the Leducq Foundation for a project that aims to find new therapies for heart disease Read more…
A team of computational and clinical researchers, led by first author Eric Sung, PhD, discover in their latest research that fat intermingling with scar tissue is the driving force behind the development of heart rhythm disturbances. This prospective study was Read more…
The three awards will enable ADVANCE researchers to develop deep learning learning methods to understand the recurrence of atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation, artificial intelligence to predict the risk of sudden death in Sarcoidosis, and computational approaches for arrhythmia risk Read more…

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 Read more…
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 Read more…
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 Read more…
New algorithm could warn doctors in advance of cardiac arrest or blood clots in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Eric recently competed in and won the Young Investigator Award Competition at the 2020 Asia-Pacific Heart Rhythm Society Virtual Congress!
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.
Baltimore, MD, Feb 12, 2024 – The Alliance for Cardiovascular Diagnostic and Treatment Innovation (ADVANCE) at Johns Hopkins University proudly announces that co-director Professor Natalia Trayanova has been awarded the esteemed Hodgkin-Huxley-Katz Prize Lecture for 2025 by The Physiological Society.
