IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
Paul A. Iaizzo, PhD, FHRS is a Professor in the Departments of Surgery, Integrative Biology and Physiology, and the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. His main research focus is translational systems physiology, and his research group has developed a unique isolated working large mammalian heart model. Other research interests include cardiac pacing, skeletal muscle pathophysiology, thermoregulation, black bear hibernation, wound healing, and spine biomechanics.
The use of therapeutic ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation has become a mainstay in the treatment of this disease, yet often these individuals require multiple procedures. In other words, successful first time treatments are impacted by challenges including the...
