Tamara Rosbury, Ph.D.

Work while at MIT:

The goal of Tamara's research was to develop a simulation of the radio-frequency ablation (RFA) of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). RFA is minimally invasive, but requires maintenance of VT until the target site for ablation is determined. Unfortunately, patients with very rapid VT cannot tolerate this maintenance phase. Theoretically, our brute force inverse algorithm will eliminate prolonged maintenance of VT by requiring only a few beats before the ablation site, or cardiac dipole solution, is determined. Thus far, our brute force inverse algorithm accurately locates the arrhythmiafs site of origin and we have simulated ECGs. The finale will be to apply our algorithm to a simulated catheter and determine how accurately the catheter dipole solution matches the cardiac dipole solution.
