Congratulations to Dr. Åshild Telle and Pat, along with our many collaborators at UW (Cardiology and Mechanical Engineering) and the Medical University of Graz, for their recently published research article entitled “Multiphysics simulations reveal haemodynamic impacts of patient-derived fibrosis-related changes in left atrial tissue mechanics”. This research presents the first electro-mechano-fluidic multiphysics computational simulations of left atrial flow, including fibrosis and anatomies from medical imaging, using LGE-MRI. The paper can be found at The Journal of Physiology and via PubMed.

Check out this new paper from the Cardiac Systems Simulation (CardSS) Lab! This is the first product from our NIH R21-funded project in machine learning-based prediction of heart disease risk in survivors of childhood cancer. Thank you to our incredible collaborators, especially Dr. Lindsay Edwards at Duke in pediatric cardiology and Dr. Eric Chow at the Fred Hutch, our expert in cancer survivorship! Most importantly, congratulations to CardSS Lab team member Dr. Surbhi Sharma and lab alumna Zih-Hua Chen (MS…

CardSS Lab is excited to announce a new review article published by Matthew Magoon, Pat, and other collaborators titled “Computational Medicine: What Electrophysiologists Should Know to Stay Ahead of the Curve”. The article focuses on three key ways for electrophysiologists to improve arrhythmia patient care: 1) improving personalized risk assessments, 2) weighing treatment options, and 3) guiding ablation procedures. The paper is available on the publisher’s website and via PubMed Central.

Today, our department held its annual graduation ceremony. We are delighted to share that FIVE members of the CardSS Lab were honored: Issac Kim, B.S. (expected), B.A. (intended), who will be staying in the lab to pursue a BS/MS degree Jamie Yang, B.S. (expected), who will be heading to UCSD to pursue her PhD Chelsea Gibbs, B.S., who will be defending her PhD in the Autumn Nicolas Longhi, B.S. (expected), who will be pursuing his BS/MS in UW Genome Sciences…

We are very proud to share that our longtime lab member Izzy Kim has been awarded the amazing Husky 100 distinction for the 2023-24 academic year! Izzy is a current senior in our undergraduate program and has been a member of the CardSS Lab since November 2021. She established herself as a strong research presence in the lab while working with her initial graduate student mentor (Dr. Savannah Bifulco, who graduated this past summer). For the past year, she has…

We are very proud to share that Dr. Åshild Telle‘s first paper as a member of the lab was published earlier this week in Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy! The title of our review is “Personalized biomechanical insights in atrial fibrillation: opportunities & challenges”. The paper will be available to subscribers via this link. The publisher has provided a second link that will make the paper available to non-subscribers for a limited time, please use this link only if your…
