About
Pasquale Santangeli is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist whose research focuses on the complex mechanisms and catheter-based treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. He has made seminal contributions to understanding the intramural origin of ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias, demonstrating that these challenging rhythms often require ablation from multiple sites—a finding that reshaped clinical approaches to resistant cases. His work on the left ventricular summit communicating veins has further illuminated hidden pathways for arrhythmia, offering new targets for intervention. Santangeli’s impact is underscored by highly cited studies, including his 2018 paper on variant ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias (45 citations) and his influential 2013 work comparing visual, tactile, and contact force feedback in catheter ablation (23 citations). He has also advanced robotic navigation techniques, enabling simultaneous assessment of contact pressure and local electrical coupling. Through these contributions, Santangeli has improved procedural precision and outcomes for patients with complex arrhythmias, earning recognition as a key innovator in interventional electrophysiology.
