Noninvasive electrocardiographic mapping of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device.

Jonathan P. Piccini, MD, MHS, FACC, FAHA, FHRS is a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist and Professor of Medicine and Population Health at Duke University Hospital and the Duke Clinical Research Institute. He is the Director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology section at the Duke Heart Center. His focus is on the care of patients with atrial fibrillation and complex arrhythmias, with particular emphasis on catheter ablation, pacing, and lead extraction. His research interests include the development and evaluation of innovative cardiovascular interventions for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Heart Rhythm Society, is an Associate Editor at JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, and is an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation. Dr. Piccini has more than 600 publications in the field of heart rhythm medicine and has been the recipient of several teaching and mentorship awards.

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.
