About
Dr. Laura Polini is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist whose research focuses on advanced interventional strategies for complex atrial fibrillation, particularly persistent and long-standing persistent forms. Her major contributions center on optimizing the robotic-enhanced hybrid ablation (RE-HA) approach, a promising yet technically demanding procedure for patients with challenging arrhythmias. In her highly cited 2025 study, Dr. Polini provided critical insights into the mechanisms underlying early arrhythmia recurrence (EAR) following RE-HA, specifically identifying the roles of post-epicardial functional conduction gaps and the extent of atrial fibrosis as key predictive factors. This work has significant clinical implications, offering a framework for refining ablation lesion sets and improving patient selection to reduce recurrence rates. By systematically analyzing the interplay between structural substrate and procedural gaps, Dr. Polini’s research helps bridge the gap between surgical and catheter-based ablation techniques. Her findings are already shaping how electrophysiologists evaluate procedural success and tailor follow-up care, marking her as an influential voice in the evolution of hybrid ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation.
