Cardiac Electrophysiologist — McGill University Health Centre
Dr. Jacqueline Joza is a cardiac electrophysiologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at McGill University, practicing at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). She also directs the Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic, dedicated to patients with genetic rhythm disorders.
Training and Education
Dr. Joza completed her undergraduate studies at Queen’s University and Université Claude Bernard in Lyon, followed by her MD at Western University.
She trained in internal medicine and cardiology at McGill University, and pursued advanced fellowship training in cardiac electrophysiology at NYU Langone in New York, with a specialization in inherited arrhythmias and cardiovascular genetics.
Clinical Expertise
Her clinical practice includes the care of patients with both common arrhythmias and complex inherited disorders such as long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), Brugada syndrome, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
She has a particular interest in epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia, leadless pacemaker implantation, and new techniques for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and conduction system pacing.
Research and Innovation
Her current research focuses on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, familial sinus node disease, and the development of new pacing strategies, including cardioneuroablation.
She is actively involved in several multicenter clinical trials supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Academic Contributions
Dr. Joza is the author of numerous scientific publications and a frequent speaker at international conferences. She plays an important role in advancing practices in cardiac electrophysiology, emphasizing early diagnosis, precision in interventional techniques, and the continuous improvement of patient care.
