Jorge Romero

Jorge Romero is a Professor of Medicine at Upstate Medical University, specializing in cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, and cardiovascular interventions. His research focuses on advanced catheter ablation techniques for complex arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation, pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation, and the electrophysiological evaluation of medical devices. Recent work includes high-power, short-duration radiofrequency applications targeting Purkinje tissue, intrapericardial corticosteroids to prevent post-ablation pericarditis, and the use of stored implantable defibrillator electrograms for targeted ablation. He also investigates pharmacological effects on cardiac conduction, such as lamotrigine, and leads multicenter studies on unmasking dormant conduction with isoproterenol. His contributions span critical care, emergency medicine, and cardiovascular research, with publications in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, Heart Rhythm, and Epilepsia.
