أجرى المركز الطبي في الجامعة الأميركية في بيروت بنجاح أول عملية لعلاج الرجفان الأذيني في المنطقة باستخدام الحقل النبضي بالفولت المبتكر والمتكامل مع استخدام نظام الخرائط ثلاثي الأبعاد عبر نظام EnSite X. يعالج هذا الإجراء المتطوّر الرجفان الأذيني، وهو أكثر اضطرابات ضربات القلب شيوعًا، مستخدمًا تكنولوجيا تتيح تقييم لتلامس الأنسجة وجودتها في الوقت الفعلي من خلال تصوير دقيق ثلاثي الأبعاد، ممّا يعزز الدقّة والنتائج الإجرائية و السلامة. يعكس هذا النهج المتقدّم التزام المركز الطبي في الجامعة الأميركية في بيروت المستمرّ بتقديم أحدث الابتكارات في مجال رعاية القلب للمرضى في جميع أنحاء المنطقة. The American University of Beirut Medical Center has successfully performed the first atrial fibrillation ablation procedures in the region utilizing the innovative Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system integrated with advanced 3D mapping through EnSite X. This cutting-edge procedure treats atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder, using technology that enables real-time assessment of tissue contact and quality through precise 3D visualization, enhancing procedural accuracy and outcomes.This advanced approach reflects AUBMC’s continued commitment to bringing the latest innovations in cardiac care to patients across the region.

Today I celebrate more than a regular graduation. I celebrate perseverance, scientific growth and the transformation of a student into a young researcher. Proud of what we have built together in the lab despite everything and excited to see the impact she will make ahead. #YAZlab

Will A.I. lead to de-skilling of physicians? And if so what can be done to preempt it? @tberzin and I address this in a new @TheLancet piece thelancet.com/journals/lance…

What an amazing story. Immensely Proud of my co-patriot Dr Yaghi who was born in Amman Jordan in 1965 to a refugee family originally from Palestine.He grew up in a household with many children, all living together in a single room with the family's livestock, with limited access to clean water and without electricity. His parents could hardly read or write. At the age of 15, he moved to the United States

Since 2023, #AUB has raised concerns with THE about questionable practices among certain universities that artificially inflate their research productivity and subsequent rankings. Until these concerns are addressed, AUB has withdrawn from the THE rankings.
