Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Based on Washington University’s Research COI Policy and the Procedures for Determining and Managing Research Financial Conflicts of Interests, the Conflicts of Interest Review Committee determined Dr. Rudy’s personal financial relationship with CardoInsight, related to the above referenced research, creates a financial conflict of interest due to the following reasons: 1) Dr. Rudy’s personal financial relationship is directly related because the studies are utilizing a product licensed to CardioInsight; 2) Dr. Rudy’s personal financial relationship is directly related because the research studies the human physiology aspects of electrocardiographic imaging, which uses algorithms based on the intellectual property the company licenses, to examine the effectiveness of this method as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for electrical abnormalities of the heart; 3) Dr. Rudy’s role as the PI, in design of the studies, oversight of the research, reporting of results, mentor/supervising individuals involved in the research could directly affect the studies
INVERSE AND FORWARD PROBLEMS IN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY
An estimated 400,000 Americans die each year from erratic heart rhythms, and many more are disabled (estimated annual fatalities worldwide is seven million). The proposed research is aimed at studying arrhythmia properties and mechanisms in humans, using a novel noninvasive imaging modality for cardiac arrhythmias (Electrocardiographic Imaging, ECGI) developed in our laboratory.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
