Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the US
The Computational Electrocardiology Group, led by Dr. Rob MacLeod, studies the electrical activity of the heart through scientific computing, imaging, signal processing, and visualization — together with experimental and clinical studies of cardiac arrhythmias and acute myocardial ischemia.
