Research Interests
Mobile cardiac telemetry monitoring for outpatient initiation of antiarrhythmic drugs: Dr. Olshan is leading a clinical trial examining the feasibility of mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT)-based monitoring to allow for outpatient initiation of the antiarrhythmic drugs sotalol and dofetilide, both of which currently require inpatient admission during the loading period to monitor for dose-dependent prolongation of the QT interval. If successful, an MCT-based approach could offer certain low-risk patients the ability to start these drugs in the ambulatory setting. This could benefit patients while simultaneously reducing health care costs.
Mechanisms of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias: Dr. Olshan is investigating the mechanism(s) of arrhythmia in patients without structural heart disease who have both premature ventricular contractions and sustained ventricular tachycardia, with the goal of better tailoring therapies for these patients.
Right ventricular dysfunction in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions: Dr. Olshan is studying the effect of frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) on right ventricular function in patients with a diagnosis of PVC-associated cardiomyopathy or who are undergoing catheter ablation of PVCs.
