Research Focus
Dr. Elisa E. Konofagou's lab at Columbia University focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias using a novel imaging technique called Electromechanical Wave Imaging (EWI). This innovative approach aims to better identify the causes of irregular heart rhythms, helping to inform more effective treatment strategies. The goal is to enhance patient outcomes by making arrhythmia treatments quicker and more reliable.
