Kezia Jerltorp

Kezia Jerltorp serves as a Research Fellow within the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Her research focuses on advanced cardiac electrophysiology interventions, specifically pulsed field ablation techniques for arrhythmia treatment.

Her primary research interests center on cardiac electrophysiology with emphasis on

• Pulsed field ablation technology development
• Atrial fibrillation and flutter treatment mechanisms
• Respiratory-cardiac interaction in arrhythmogenesis
• Porcine models for translational electrophysiology research
• Advanced cardiac imaging for ablation lesion assessment
• Novel approaches to treatment-resistant arrhythmias

Analysis of her recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a concentrated research trajectory in next-generation cardiac ablation technologies. Her work demonstrates particular expertise in translating porcine model findings to clinical applications, with strong focus on visualizing ablation outcomes through advanced cardiac MRI techniques and addressing limitations of current pulmonary vein isolation procedures. The publications collectively represent significant contributions to understanding arrhythmia mechanisms related to respiratory events and developing more precise ablation methodologies.

Dr. Jerltorp actively collaborates with leading electrophysiology researchers across European institutions, with notable partnerships at Aarhus University Hospital and other Danish medical centers. Her work appears primarily in high-impact cardiology journals including Heart Rhythm and Europace, with several publications featuring as E-pub ahead of print indicating timely contributions to the field.
