CardSS Lab members Dr. Chelsea E. Gibbs and Pat recently published the study entitled “Population-based computational simulations elucidate mechanisms of focal arrhythmia following stem cell injection”. Key highlights of the paper include that individual stem-cell derived cardiomyocyte grafts can be arrhythmogenic and tend to be in areas with high host isolation. The full manuscript is available at The Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and ScienceDirect.

Pat has published a new review article with several distinguished European collaborators entitled “From bits to bedside: entering the age of digital twins in cardiac electrophysiology”. The full article is available open source via this link.  

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…
