BIO
He is a practicing clinician treating abnormal heart rhythms by placing wires inside the heart. His research focuses on the chaotic abnormal heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation. He studies fibrillation in a computational model, as well as in swine and humans. Dr. Spector and his team have designed a new type of electrode array and mapping system that allows doctors to determine how to treat patients on a case by case basis. He is the founder and President of VisibleEP (computer modeling software for electrophysiologic research and education) and CoreMap (a clinical cardiac mapping company).
Area(s) of expertise
Cardiac Electrophysiology, Electrodes, Electrical recordings, Computational modeling
