Vijay Chauhan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Toronto. His research primarily focuses on translational electrophysiology, specifically investigating cardiac repolarization dynamics in patients suffering from cardiomyopathy, which leads to potentially lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Supported by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, his work characterizes the spatiotemporal distribution of ventricular repolarization under various physiological conditions. Chauhan's laboratory employs body surface and intracardiac recordings to analyze how altered ventricular repolarization correlates with arrhythmogenesis. By quantifying aspects of cardiac repolarization, including spatiotemporal heterogeneity and restitution, his research aims to elucidate the mechanisms behind lethal arrhythmias and pave the way for novel antiarrhythmic therapies.
