My involvement in Research started simultaneously with myCardiology training, and I have combined both activities uninterruptedly eversince. After an initial period performing basic science, I chose to focus onclinical science, and later epidemiology and genetics. I have authored over 200publications in the field of cardiology and arrhythmias, some of which havebeen included in international guidelines - British, European and American -for the management of cardiovascular disease. My main research interests areatrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death, catheter ablationtechniques/approaches, clinical epidemiology and genetics. In 2015, I wasawarded with the Young Investigator Award in Clinical Science at the EuropeanHeart Rhythm Association Congress, in Milan. The investigation was on thereproducibly of cryoballoon ablation vs. radio frequency ablation for thetreatment of atrial fibrillation in a multicentre French survey. Those weredata from the early days of this technique which has now become mainstream andhas gained worldwide usage. In 2016 I started working with Professor JP Casasat the Institute of Health Informatics with the aim of creating a groupspecialising on the epidemiology of arrhythmic disorders. I am currentlystudying the natural history of AF in the UK in a database of 6.7 millionpatients, and identifying the different AF sub-phenotypes based on the conceptof clinical trajectories. One of my recent interests is the identification of novel drug targets for atrial fibrillation. I have been the Coordinating Editor of Cochrane's Heart Group since 2018 and have an interest in evidence synthesis - I am currently collaborating in the preparation of 7 systematic reviews for the new Guideline in the treatment and prevention of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
