Title: MRI  for Guiding Ventricular Arrhythmia Management

Abstract: MRI, with its exceptional soft tissue contrast, can provide critical information to improve outcomes for patients at risk of ventricular arrhythmias. There is growing evidence that regions of heterogeneous infarct associated with slow conduction and re-entry circuits can be depicted as areas of intermediate T1 relaxation in gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the heart. Combining MRI maps with electrical information through computational models could facilitate more effective treatment planning and ablation targeting. MRI also has the capacity to visualize tissue damage associated with the ablations, providing the potential for rapid assessment of treatment effect. These advances are motivating the development of integrated systems for direct MRI guidance of ablation therapies in cardiac electrophysiology.

Title: Patient-tailored heart models as a diagnostic modality

Abstract: Clinical imaging methods provide information about the anatomy of a patient, as well as functional parameters such as perfusion. In addition, electrocardiographic imaging tools can give us good estimates of the electrical activity of the heart. However, important functional parameters such as tissue conductivities, cell size, and protein expression levels remain out of reach of any in-situ imaging tool. We use detailed patient-tailored anatomies to tune models to both ECG and intracardiac electrical signals, and use the final parameter values as diagnostic information. While this approach proved succesful in a small pilot study, it is becoming evident that a great deal of technical progress is needed to apply this method on a larger scale.
