Cardiac electrophysiology is highly regulated to maintain spatiotemporal homogeneity, which is fundamental to stable cardiac rhythm. Cardiac arrhythmias are complex and dynamic phenomena, often requiring interacting mechanisms to initiate and sustain them. Determining arrhythmia mechanisms requires not only an understanding of the ion channel behaviour which determines cardiomyocyte electrophysiology but also of tissue and organ-level factors which influence conduction and repolarization in the heart. Our research takes a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, leveraging molecular, cellular and whole-heart studies to understand atrial and ventricular arrhythmia mechanisms.
