Biography
Dr Hector Martinez-Navarro is a multidisciplinary researcher focused on applying computational techniques to cardiovascular research. In 2020 he received his Doctoral Degree in Computational Medicine from the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Blanca Rodriguez, Prof Alfonso Bueno and Dr Ana Minchole. His doctoral research used computational modelling and simulation to investigate how variability in acute myocardial ischemia affects arrhythmic risk and ECG abnormalities. He and his team identified a specific type of transmural reentry, highly common in ischemia scenarios presenting normal ECG, which could explain arrhythmogenesis in silent ischemia. In 2021, Dr Martinez-Navarro received a Master's Degree in Physiology from the University of Valencia, supervised by Prof. Luis Such. Currently, he works in diastolic dysfunction as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Experimental Medical Research, Oslo University Hospital.
