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.
Stephen G. Quallich, PhD earned his doctoral degree in the Visible Heart Laboratory (University of Minnesota), and is now employed as a Senior Reliability Engineer at Medtronic PLC. His primary research interests include cardiac ablation tissue property changes, fossa ovalis tearing, RF ablation steam pops, and infrared imaging of cryoablation.
Changes in cardiac tissue properties following the application of various ablation modalities may lead to the development of an array of associated complications. The application of either radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermal ablations will alter the biomechanical properties of various cardiac...
