Blending engineering and medicine: novel analyses of electrocardiogram for prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac death is coming at 10/28/2019 - 4:00pm
Gilfillan Auditorium Mon, 10/28/2019 - 4:00pm Larisa Tereshchenko Associate professor of medicine , Knight Cardiovascular Institute Abstract: Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. Sudden cardiac death is a major contributor to cardiovascular mortality and a tragic event for a community and family members. Understanding mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias is a key factor for further reduction of cardiovascular disease burden and mortality. For initiation of arrhythmia, two components are necessary: trigger and the susceptible electrophysiological substrate. Advances in computer science, digital signal processing, and understanding of cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms led to the development of novel mechanistic electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic measures. We use a widely available, inexpensive, and non-invasive tool (resting 12-lead ECG) to characterize the electrophysiological substrate of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Then, we study associations of electrocardiographic phenotype with genomics to understand underlying biology of the electrophysiological substrate. In my talk I will present my translational program, my effort of building Big Data resource (ECGome consortium) and outline opportunities for our collaboration/opportunities for students.
