Lyda Victoria Rueda, a first-semester doctoral student in Biomedical Sciences, successfully presented her research proposal entitled: “Model for predicting the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with Chagas heart disease stages B, C, and D,” as part of the “Symposium on Data to Prediction. Fundamentals for the Construction of Health Models,” organized by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá.
This collaborative work between the UIS and the FCV-HIC is co-directed by Dr. Luis Eduardo Echeverría, head of the Heart Failure and Heart Transplant Unit at the FCV-HIC, and Professor Óscar Leonel Rueda Ochoa, director of the UIS Electrocardiography Research Group, in conjunction with Professor Carlos A. Conde, head nurse Lyda Zoraya Rojas-Sánchez, professor at the UIS School of Nursing; Laura Valentina Arciniegas and Lyda Mariana Herrera, members of the UIS Cardiovascular Research Seedbed.
This project is another example of the interdisciplinary and interinstitutional work that strengthens the training of our doctoral students, contributing to addressing health issues in our environment with global implications.
