RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Advancing Cardiac Electrophysiology Through Translational Research
Heart Rhythm Research Brussels (HRRB) conducts multidisciplinary research aimed at advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders. Our research integrates clinical electrophysiology, biomedical engineering, cardiogenetics, and computational modelling to develop innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.
Through close collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and engineers, our goal is to translate scientific discoveries into practical clinical solutions that improve patient outcomes. This translational approach allows us to rapidly transform research insights into new technologies, therapies, and clinical protocols for the management of complex arrhythmias.
Our research activities are closely integrated with the clinical programs of the Heart Rhythm Management Center, enabling continuous interaction between scientific investigation and patient care.
Core Research Areas
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Research focused on mechanisms, diagnosis, and advanced catheter ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation.
Our goal is to improve patient outcomes through innovative technologies and precision therapies.
INHERITED ARRHYTHMIAS
Research on rare genetic arrhythmia syndromes such as Brugada, Long QT, and other channelopathies.
Our work integrates clinical care, genetics, and electrophysiology to improve diagnosis and personalized treatment.
VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA
Studies on the mechanisms, mapping, and treatment of ventricular tachycardia in structural and inherited heart disease.
We develop advanced ablation techniques and risk stratification strategies to prevent sudden cardiac death.
CARDIOGENETICS
Investigation of genetic determinants of cardiac rhythm disorders and their clinical implications.
We combine genomics, clinical electrophysiology, and translational research to enable precision medicine.
