Description of Research Expertise
Analysis of electrocardiograhic characteristics of ventricular tachycardia originating from the right para-hisian area versus ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricular free wall. This study will also retrospectively and prospectively analyze the distribution of the multiple ventricular tachycardias seen in patients with RV cardiomyopathy.Unique Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiologic Features of Ventricular Tachycardia Originating from the Right/Left Coronary Commissure.
The Use of Intracardiac Echo to Define Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate in Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Unique Epicardial Substrate in Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Echo Signature, Electrogram Correlates, and Outcome with Substrate Based Ablation.
