A research team from the ITACA Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València contributed 10 scientific presentations at the Heart Rhythm Society Congress (HRS 2025) in San Diego (USA), held from 24 to 27 April, one of the world’s leading events in cardiac electrophysiology.

The work, led by María Guillem (Director of ITACA), Andreu Climent (researcher at ITACA) and Jana Reventós (PhD candidate at ITACA), was focused on the clinical application of non-invasive electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) technologies to improve diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

“Jointly developed by ITACA the spin-off Corify Care and Gregorio Marañón Hospital, ECGI is already being integrated into real-world clinical workflows through collaborations with leading hospitals. This technology enables non-invasive visualization of the heart’s electrical activity, eliminating the need for catheter insertion or complex invasive procedures”, explained ITACA researchers.

Research to improve heart health

Their contributions addressed a broad range of topics, including AI-driven personalized ablation for atrial fibrillation, risk stratification in ventricular tachycardia, real-time localization of PVCs, and optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using new ECGI-based criteria. In all cases, the results validated the ability of imageless ECGI to deliver fast, accurate, and patient-specific mapping—demonstrating strong correlation with invasive electroanatomical mapping.

These studies were developed within the framework of COR group projects at ITACA and currently being translated to clinical practice through the UPV spin-off Corify Care.

ITACA’s strong presence at HRS 2025 highlights the institute’s leadership in applied research in cardiac electrophysiology and its commitment to advancing clinically impactful medical technologies.
