Biography

Dr. Salavatian is a scientist in the field of neurocardiology and neurophysiology. He received his doctorate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Montreal (UdeM), with postdoctoral training at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Cardiac Arrhythmia Center. He has a Master of Engineering in Computer and Electrical Engineering and he has applied engineering tools in his medical research. His main area of research is to investigate the neural remodeling that occurs in the autonomic nervous system in heart diseases and assess potential cardiac neuromodulation therapies.
