Marashly Q, Gopinath C, Baher A, Acharya M, Kheirkhahan M, Hardisty B, et al.
J Am Heart Assoc . 2021 Mar; 10(7):e018924. PMID: 33759540
Background Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is a byproduct of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using thermal sources. The most severe form of ETI is represented by atrioesophageal fistula, which has a...

Kirstein B, Morris A, Baher A, Csecs I, Kheirkhahan M, Kaur G, et al.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol . 2020 May; 31(7):1587-1594. PMID: 32412119
Background: Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established modality for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We report feasibility of left atrial (LA) substrate modification in...

Kheirkhahan M, Baher A, Goldooz M, Kholmovski E, Morris A, Csecs I, et al.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol . 2019 Dec; 43(4):402-411. PMID: 31867751
Background: Left atrial (LA) fibrosis is thought to be a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) and can be quantified by late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI). Fibrosis formation in...

Baher A, Buck B, Fanarjian M, Mounsey J, Gehi A, Chung E, et al.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol . 2019 Sep; 30(11):2229-2238. PMID: 31507008
Objectives: To differentiate electrograms representing sites of active atrial fibrillation (AF) drivers from passive ones. Background: Ablation of complex-fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) is controversial due to difficulty in distinguishing CFAEs...

Baher A, Marrouche N
Curr Cardiol Rep . 2019 Feb; 21(2):10. PMID: 30790104
Purpose Of The Review: Atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure and reduced systolic ejection fraction (HFrEF) is common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and managing AF...

Baher A, Kheirkhahan M, Rechenmacher S, Marashly Q, Kholmovski E, Siebermair J, et al.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol . 2018 Dec; 4(12):1583-1594. PMID: 30573123
Objectives: This study retrospectively evaluated the feasibility and esophageal thermal injury (ETI) patterns of high-power short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Background: ETI following AF ablation can lead to...

Hummel J, Akar J, Baher A, Webber Jr C
Chaos . 2018 Sep; 28(8):085718. PMID: 30180597
Recurrence analyses are typically performed on discretized time series after applying proper embeddings, delays, and thresholds. In our study of atrial electrograms, we found limitations to this approach when sequential...

Baher A, Marrouche N
Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev . 2018 Jul; 7(2):91-94. PMID: 29967680
AF in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is common and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure hospitalisation and all-cause mortality. Rhythm control...

Hummel J, Baher A, Buck B, Fanarjian M, Webber Jr C, Akar J
Comput Biol Med . 2017 Sep; 89:497-504. PMID: 28889077
Introduction: Spiral wave reentry is a potential mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF), but is difficult to differentiate clinically from multiple wavelet breakup using standard bipolar recordings. We developed a new...

Baher A, Mowla A, Kodali S, Polsani V, Nabi F, Nagueh S, et al.
Cerebrovasc Dis . 2014 May; 37(4):277-84. PMID: 24819735
Background: An accurate subtype classification of acute ischemic stroke is important in clinical practice as it can greatly influence patient care in terms of acute management and devising secondary stroke...
