We invite you to a lecture of prof. Yoram Rudy, director of the Cardiac Bioelectricity and Arrhythmia Center (CBAC), St.Louis, USA entitled Noninvasive Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias: Example Applications in Humans (abstract). The lecture will take place on Monday, September 17, 2012 at 14:00 in the lectrure room of the IMS SAS in Bratislava.

Prof. Yoram Rudy

Fred Saigh Distinguished Professor of Engineering

Biography:

In 2004, Professor Rudy came to Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) from Case Western Reserve University, where he had been a member of the faculty since 1980.

In 2008, Professor Rudy became the Hein J.J. Wellens Distinguished Professor in Cardiology at the University of Maastricht in The Netherlands. In this role, Professor Rudy will conduct workshops on cardiac electrophysiology at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM) from September 2008 through May 2009. He will also host visiting scientists from Maastricht University in his WUSTL laboratory as part of a collaboration for heart research.

Research

Using computational biology, Professor Rudy researches the mechanisms at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels that underly normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms, particularly those that lead to sudden cardiac death. He has also developed a novel, non-invasive imaging modality for mapping cardiac activation and arrhythmias called electrocardiographic imaging.
