ABSTRACT
Catheter ablation has emerged as a cornerstone treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, providing a minimally invasive way to restore normal heart rhythm. Computational modeling and simulation offer powerful tools to improve both the efficacy and safety of these procedures. This presentation will review recent advances in ablation modeling, ranging from multiphysics PDE formulations to patient-specific simulations across virtual patient cohorts, with a focus on two primary ablation techniques: radiofrequency ablation and pulsed-field ablation.
BIO
Dr. Argyrios Petras is a Research Scientist at the RICAM Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, which he joined in 2020. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Simon Fraser University, Canada, in 2016 and subsequently held postdoctoral fellowships at BCAM in Spain and IHU Liryc in France. He specializes in computational cardiology, and his main research focuses on the mathematical modeling and simulation of ablation therapies.
