Electroporation, particularly pulsed field ablation (PFA), has clearly established itself in EP labs worldwide and is increasingly becoming a first-line approach for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
At the same time, it is evident that the potential of PFA extends well beyond atrial fibrillation. Reflecting this momentum, the University of Ljubljana has recently launched four major interdisciplinary research projects, one of which is CardioEP – New methods for treating heart disease with electroporation.
This project brings together four faculties of the University of Ljubljana, the University Medical Centre Ljubljana, the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, and the Jožef Stefan Institute. Its goal is to develop innovative methods for treating heart disease using electroporation, artificial intelligence, and digital twins, with a particular focus on patient-specific therapies for ventricular arrhythmias and on approaches for cardiac tissue regeneration.
