- Ablation of cardiac arrhythmias was done with little knowledge of the effect on the target tissue leading to variable success rates and need for repeat procedures. We showed for the first time in a porcine model what the clinical voltage and MR Imaging measurements mean histologically. This changed the understanding of what is needed to deliver a successful ablation, set up the field to use MRI as the accurate biomarker of ablation injury, has been largely cited by others, and led to us showing MRI method to be robust and reproducible in a clinical setting (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12968-018-0449-8; https://doi.org/10.1186/s12968-018-0438-y).
