About
Erika Bertella is a leading researcher in cardiac electrophysiology, with a focused expertise in the mechanisms and treatment of persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF and LS-PsAF). Her major contributions center on refining ablation strategies for complex arrhythmias, particularly through the investigation of robotic-enhanced hybrid ablation (RE-HA). In her most-cited work, Bertella explores how functional conduction gaps and atrial fibrosis serve as critical predictors of early arrhythmia recurrence after RE-HA, offering novel insights into procedural outcomes and patient selection. This research, published in 2025, has already garnered attention within the field, underscoring its timely relevance. By identifying post-epicardial gap patterns and fibrotic burden as key determinants of success, Bertella’s work directly informs clinical decision-making and advances personalized approaches to atrial fibrillation management. Her studies bridge the gap between surgical and catheter-based techniques, highlighting the importance of substrate modification. With a growing citation impact, Bertella is establishing herself as a pivotal voice in arrhythmia research, driving progress toward more durable and effective hybrid therapies for patients with challenging atrial fibrillation.
