Luigi Di Biase, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Medicine (Cardiology)
Director of Arrhythmia Services, Department of Medicine
Improving patient care is the heart of Dr. Di Biase's mission. He believes that this
is possible through dedicated clinical practice associated to cutting-edge clinical
research. Dr. Di Biase's research focuses on cardiology and electrophysiology with
specific emphasis on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular
arrhythmias performed either manually or with robotic catheter navigation.
Additionally, his research focuses on heart failure, particularly cases treated with
cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. full bio>>
