About

Dr. Constancia Macatangay is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist whose research focuses on advancing catheter ablation techniques for complex cardiac arrhythmias. Her seminal work, "Comparison of robotic magnetic navigation-guided and manual catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias arising from the papillary muscles" (2018, 19 citations), addresses one of the most challenging targets in interventional electrophysiology: ventricular arrhythmias originating from the intricate anatomy of the left and right ventricular papillary muscles. This study provides critical comparative data demonstrating the potential superiority of robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) over conventional manual approaches in achieving precise lesion delivery and improved outcomes in these anatomically difficult cases. By systematically evaluating ablation strategies for papillary muscle arrhythmias, Dr. Macatangay has contributed to safer, more effective treatment paradigms for patients with drug-refractory ventricular arrhythmias. Her work bridges the gap between advanced robotic technologies and clinical practice, offering electrophysiologists evidence-based guidance for selecting optimal ablation approaches. With her focus on procedural innovation and outcomes research, Dr. Macatangay continues to shape the future of arrhythmia management, making her a respected voice in the field of cardiac electrophysiology.
