Natalia Trayanova dreams of the day cardiac arrhythmia is virtually eradicated from society.
Literally.
Or, more precisely, virtually.
Trayanova’s vision may come to pass sooner than she expects: The Johns Hopkins University professor/laboratory director has helmed development of a 3D virtual heart model that has clinically been proven to better detect lethal cardiac rhythms. Trayanova and her computational science-minded research team also are using the model to improve ablation guidance in an effort to “cure” arrhythmia.
“We believe that in using this approach we can decrease the number of unnecessary implantations of [defibrillator] devices and [therefore] save human lives,” Trayanova, Ph.D., a biomedical engineering professor and director of Johns Hopkins’ Computational Cardiology Lab, told a TEDx talk student audience last summer. “It has not been an easy road to get to this point.
Science, as you may know, is quite messy. But the attempt to bring computational science together with medicine has been a tricky and long road. If our approach i
