About

Susana Arango is a leading researcher in computational cardiology and medical imaging, with a focus on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—a genetic heart disease marked by abnormal thickening of the heart muscle. Her most cited work, a 2022 study on a high-fidelity three-dimensional computational model of an HCM patient, represents a significant breakthrough in cardiac simulation. This model integrates echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) data to create a detailed, patient-specific 3D representation of the heart, enabling enhanced understanding of cardiac anatomy and pathophysiology. Arango’s research addresses a critical gap in medical education: learning echocardiography requires advanced, repetitive training, and her 3D model offers an immersive tool for trainees to visualize complex structural changes in HCM. By bridging computational modeling with clinical practice, her work improves diagnostic accuracy and training efficiency. With 5 citations to date, this paper underscores her impact in advancing both biomedical engineering and cardiology education. Arango’s contributions are pivotal for developing next-generation simulation-based learning and personalized medicine approaches in cardiovascular care.
