Anselmo Lastra - Medical Research Page



When I was a Duke, I worked on interpretation of Holter (ECG recorders worn by patients for 24 hours) tapes and on simulation of cardiac conduction. The conduction work was to try to analyze the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias. Most of that work was before Web publishing became prevalent, so I don't have much to show on this page. However, have a look at Frank Starmer's web page for some interesting stuff. Frank was my thesis advisor. He was a professor at Duke University, but is now at the Medical College of South Carolina. The image that probably led you to this page came from Frank's web page and is of a phenomenon known as Torsade de Pointes.
