Member of:
Eduardo Franco obtained his MD (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) in 2008 and his PhD (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) in 2015. This EHRA Certified Electrophysiology Specialist Level 2 works as a Cardiology Consultant in the Arrhythmia Unit of the University Hospital Ramón y Cajal (Madrid, Spain). This Unit has two Electrophysiology laboratories, and performs about 550-600 ablation procedures, 350 pacemaker implants and 90 defibrillator implants per year. His clinical activity includes catheter ablation procedures, cardiac electronic devices implants, as well as theoretical and practical formation for Cardiology residents and Electrophysiology fellows. He has broad experience in supraventricular arrhythmias ablation, atrial fibrillation ablation (both radiofrequency and cryoballoon), and ventricular tachycardia ablation (both epicardial and endocardial approaches), and is a regular user of Ensite Precision, Rhythmia and Carto3 electroanatomical mapping system.
To the root of the matter: better long-term success of para-Hisian atrial tachycardias ablated from the aortic root than any other origin of atrial tachycardia.
