Predicting atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation in patients with heart failure: Validity of the APPLE and CAAP-AF risk scoring systems.

Education: Master of Science in Public Health, Biostatistics-  Emory University Rollins School of Public Health.  

Overview: Alice collaborates with researchers and clinicians with the Division of Gastroenterology on many observational studies using data from EHR as well as large national databases such as HCUP, UNOS, and Medicare 5% LDS.  Additionally, Alice collaborates with the Division of Pulmonary on palliative care RCTs and various retrospective studies.  Alice works with the Pharmacy residents on their PGY1 studies.  In the past Alice has had the opportunity to work with investigators in Heart Center and Epicenter.  Alice has experience working with zero inflated count outcomes, among many other statistical methodologies.

I am a cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders and management of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). My research utilizes signal processing of electrocardiographic data and novel analytic techniques to better phenotype patients and identify those for whom interventional electrophysiology procedures may be most beneficial. This includes predicting which patients with left bundle branch block may benefit from early cardiac resynchronization therapy or conduction system pacing. I also analyze population level data to identify patients at high risk for adverse sequelae of rhythm disorders who may benefit from early intervention.
