For the first time, the heart can be seen non-invasively exactly as it behaves during an arrhythmia, facilitating medical intervention. The work has been published in Nature Communications Medicine.

In the EFICACIA project, led by Dr María S. Guillem from the COR group at ITACA, has been developed a non-invasive tool capable of estimating whether a patient’s heart shows signs of fibrosis (damaged tissue) or abnormal electrical activity

María Guillem received the Knowledge Transfer Award for the impact of ACORYS, the non-invasive cardiac mapping technology. Eduardo Rojas, ICT vs CC group, received a special mention for his scientific work on DANA.

The group showcases innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence and bioelectromagnetism in Brazil and Brussels to advance the detection and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Researchers from the COR-ITACA group have developed a new technique that improves the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias and reduces detection errors by up to 80%.

The award recognized her work on the development of DIGICOR, an interactive platform to improve personalized ablation planning for patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF), one of the most common and complex cardiac arrhythmias.

The Proton-ECGI project has been led by Dr. Andreu Climent and it consolidates a new line of research within the COR group, focused on the intersection of cardiac electrophysiology, non-invasive imaging, and radiotherapy technologies

ITACA is currently the leading center at UPV in terms of collaborative projects with private companies.

María Guillem co-organised a key session in the scientific programme and three researchers from the ITACA Institute presented cutting-edge advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases.
